I admire its courage and the always welcome presence of Harry Andrews (as Earnshaw), Judy Cornwell (as Nellie), Pamela Browne, Rosalie Crutchley. But I can't forgive its dullness.

4/5

Less melodramatic and earthier than the classic 1939 version with Olivier, Robert Fuest's take still heaves with passion thanks to Dalton's fiery chemistry with Anna Calder-Marshall's Cathy.

Because Miss Brontë's Wuthering Heights defies easy or consistent interpretation... the director, and Patrick Tilley, who did the adaptation, have felt free to make bluntly clear relationships that in the novel remain forever ambiguous.

3/4

What's noteworthy about this version is that, unlike most other adaptations, it does little to tone down the often savage creatures found in Bronte's original text.

3/5

Obviously aiming for a little cultural respectability, producers Samuel Z Arkoff and James H Nicholson (co-founders of B-movie factory AIP) were rewarded with some striking images from cinematographer John Coquillon and steady direction from Robert Fuest.

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.

In my opinion, this is the best version of all the Wuthering Heights movies. Very passionate
