I
think that Olivia is at her lovliest in this film. Although it
wasn't a success, it is a favorite of mine. She is wonderful
in the role of an elegant lady who is suspected of murdering
her husband. Is she guilty or innocent of this crime? All through
the film, Philip Ashley, played by Richard Burton in his 20th
Century Fox debut, suspects her but is unable to stop falling
in love with her and even signs over his entire estate to his
cousin Rachel.
Its
also written by one of my favorite authors, Daphne du Maurier
who has written a true gothic romance that takes place in 19th
century Conwall. Its worth watching.
