My Cousin Rachel is a 1952 American mystery-romance film directed by Henry Koster and starred Olivia de Havilland, Richard Burton, Audrey Dalton, Ronald Squire, George Dolenz and John Sutton. The film is based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier.
When Philip Ashley's (Richard Burton) much-loved (and rich) cousin Ambrose (John Sutton) dies, Philip is convinced that Ambrose was murdered by his new wife Rachel (Olivia de Havilland) to inherit his wealth. But, when he meets Rachel and falls in love with her, he knows that his suspicions must have been unfounded. Or were they? Is Rachel just trying to use Philip to get at the estate Ambrose left to him instead of her? And will she murder him next?
