Frans B @FransB Apr 1 The best iteration out of 35 or so, IMO. Earthy, real ambiance captures the period correctness. The windy and wild landscapes fits perfectly. Dalton excels in character, as do whole cast. Robert Fuest did good in bringing this to screen. Love the fact that the melodrama is kept to absolute minimum in exchange for gritty atmosphere. Bronté would have been proud of this. Great work See more Rare T @RT00283363 01/17/2025 No adaptation of Wuthering Heights will ever come close to the 1939 version, and while this one further proves this point, it’s also one of the better ones. It is intense in drama. Nevertheless, the characters, scenarios. and dialogue are just more convincing in the 1939 adaptation, and thus more captivating.

It did have the look of an 80s soap and the overall adaptation is reasonably faithful to Bronte's, similar to the Olivier version which ondense or omitted the second generation characters. But everything else is serviceable. Dalton is competent lead, the script engaging. See more 09/20/2018 Mostly good, some liberties taken with the story, presumably to squeeze just the first half in. Some good casting; I mostly liked Timothy Dalton as Heathcliff and Ian Ogilvy as the local toff. However the whole thing is a bit too period-drama, and not quite dark, mad and bad enough. The book is a tale of hot headed revenge - this Cathy should be fiercer and the atmosphere more brooding.

Very passionate See more 02/17/2015 Not without its defects, but still the best version for capturing the 'feel' of the book. Performances from the cast were solid all around but the production seemed to suffer from budget constraints. Example: Two scenes showing Catherine's breakdown at Thrushcross Grange seemed to be the exact same shot, just reversed. Also, costumes were repetitive. Some people will not like that the movie only covers about half the book, but again, the overall themes of the book are certainly maintained. The ending takes up the images of ghostly hauntings most effectively and manages to convey in a few moments the years of torment Heathcliff suffered with Catherine's 'visitations'. Would recommend as definitely worth watching. See more Read all reviews
