My Cousin Rachel is adapted from Daphne Du Maurier's gothic romance novel of the same name, about a young Englishman called Philip who inherits his guardian's Cornish estate. Philip soon finds himself falling for his beguiling cousin Rachel, but his feelings are complicated when evidence suggests that she murdered Philip's guardian and is only showing an interest in Philip to steal his inheritance. Following this, the story follow Philip's revenge against his mysterious, beautiful cousin. But his feelings become complicated as he finds himself falling under the beguiling spell of her charms. This is not the first time Du Maurier's 1951 novel has been adapted for the big screen. It was made into a film only a year after publication, starring Olivia de Havilland and Richard Burton, and was nominated for four Oscars.
