My Cousin Rachel [DVD]

Based on the best-selling novel by Daphne du Maurier (author of The Peerless Rebecca), My Cousin Rachel (1952) weaves an eerie tale of Gothic romance, set against the backdrop of the wild, rock-ribbed Cornish coast. Richard Burton, in his first American film role, stars as an anguished young Englishman, torn between dark suspicion and an uncontrollable passion for his guardian's widow, the alluring and mysterious Rachel (Olivia de Havilland). With atmospheric direction by Henry Koster (The Robe) and a darkly romantic score by Franz Waxman (Sunset Boulevard), My Cousin Rachel is a seductive entry in the annals of cinematic ambiguity.Features:This release of Daphne Du Maurier 1952 Gothic film adaptation coincides with the new 2017 release4 time Oscar nominated and Golden Globe winnerStars Olivia De Havilland (The Adventures of Robin Hood & Gone With the Wind) and Richard Burton (Where Eagles Dare)
