My Cousin Rachel is a British mystery television series adapted from the novel of the same title by Daphne du Maurier.
Philip distrusts the diagnosis of a brain tumor due to letters from Ambrose describing suspicions that Rachel and her attorney Rainalidi are trying to poison him.
Ambrose had not made a new will upon his marriage to Rachel, leaving Philip the heir to the large estate.
He makes preparations to transfer the estate to Rachel and, encouraged by her behaviour, assumes they will be married.
In a 1985 review, John J. O'Connor of The New York Times commended the script and Chaplin's performance and the direction, noting it "captures the special Cornish atmosphere of the piece perfectly."
