Amazon.com essential video
One of the most compelling tragic romances ever captured on film, Wuthering Heights is an exquisite tale of doomed love and miscalculated intentions. Though only half of Emily Bronte's classic tale of Heathcliff and Catherine was filmed by director William Wyler, it lacks for nothing. The story begins when a Yorkshire gentleman farmer brings home a raggedy gypsy boy, Heathcliff, and raises him as his son. The boy grows to love his stepsister Catherine, with catastrophic results. Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon were perfectly cast as the mismatched lovers, with Olivier brooding and despairing, Oberon ethereal and enchanting. This won cinematographer Gregg Toland a much-deserved Oscar for his haunting and evocative depiction of mid-19th century English moors. (Quite a trick, as this was shot in California!) Though nominated for seven other Oscars, it won none of them, as it was released in 1939, one of the best years in Hollywood history and the same year as Gone with the Wind. Interestingly, the script was written by Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht, best known for their witty 1931 flick, The Front Page. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Olivier is the only Heathcliff that I believe. Don't like him in much else. This is the version that 'feels' like the book to me, that has the look and feel of the world I imagine Brontë lived in and how she imagined the world in her book to look.
Brilliant, period August 4, 2010

I was hesitant to buy this South Korea import. Glad I did. It's an excellant quality DVD. If anyone has trouble with subtitles or language, take a second look, the options are there. The 'none' option is pretty much hidden in the background. So once I found it, smooth sailing to one of my favorite movies. 5 stars for both the movie and the quality of the DVD.
