The Bluestocking Club presents: MY COUSIN RACHEL (1952) introduced by novelist Emma Flint

For its second screening of the autumn season, literary film salon The Bluestocking Club presents Henry Koster’s 1952 adaption of Daphne du Maurier’s dark drama My Cousin Rachel.

Starring the breath-taking Olivia de Havilland (of Gone With the Wind fame) as cousin Rachel, and the inimitable Richard Burton as the hapless Philip, the film tells the story of a murder that may have taken place at the hands of the alluring and mysterious Rachel—but did she? Or didn’t she?

Introduced by Emma Flint, author of the Bailey's-longlisted LITTLE DEATHS—a heady blend of sex, murder, obsession, noir and a femme fatale—who will talk about Du Maurier, 'ambiguous' women, her own novel and the writing process, the Bluestocking Club is delighted to present this cinema classic at The Hoxton Square Bar and Kitchen this October.
