Comment
An orphan (Sam Clafin) is brought up by his cousin, who then goes to taly for his health and marries Rachel (Rachel Weis). He says that she is trying to kill him and after he dies, she comes to live with him. He starts off plotting his revenge against her, but soon falls under her enigmattic spell. This is a disappointing version of the story. The direction, acting and dialogue is very flat, despite the talents of the cast involved. The 1952 Richard Burton and Olivia De Haviland is much better.
