MCT:July 9, 2008I am Heathcliff! I love a woman who belongs to another man!... My love was fierce... my hate is burning! I will have vengeance!-Imdb
Wonderful, articulate tragic. Remade many many times but this is the best! -
MCT:May 29, 2008I've actually read this book before for a project in one of my English classes a few years ago and love it. I was just flipping through the channels and this happened to be on TCM so I decided to watch it and it was really good. I love the character of Heathcliff and everything he does throughout the story. He has such a crushing love for someone he's unable to be with because she's gone and married someone else; however, that doesn't stop him from meddling within their lives. At parts it's almost like he's rubbing salt in an open wound with the dialogue between him and Kathy. Anyways, I thought it was great and I even started tearing up a bit at the end. If you like older films, then I suggest you watch this one. Very haunting and tragic in every way. And holy smokes! Laurence Olivier was gorgeous during his younger years. The only other movie that I've seen with him in it is Sleuth and he was a bit aged by then.

Wonderfully dark and sinister and the actors did well in portraying the characters. I will be surprised if anyone manages to transform better to Heathcliff as Olivier does.

This is Sir Laurence Olivier at his finest. Its a beautifal story, with and ending that will make anyone cry

Very disappointing, but still a very good film. It started off terrific with a lead into a great romance. But in the middle it dragged on for a while. Overall it still had good romance and suspense. And a terrific ending.

Another heart-wrenching love story. Very dramatic and at times almost operatic. The performances are stunning (Laurence Olivier commands attention) and Wyler's direction is assured and accomplished.

A classic tale of obsessional love and revenge... that's all you need to know!
I don't wanna get picky but the book is much better *sorry*
But then again, you gotta love Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon - together -who both fit in perfectly with their roles.
Excellent excellent excellent!
Haven't seen the more recent versions yet this remains a must-see! -

This movie is the meaning of "movie making". The intensity of both the characters, Heathcliff and Cathy simmers then grows in intensity exponentially as the movie progresses on the screen and in you at the same time until it explodes. Are Heathcliff and Cathy the same person?

Olivier eh sem duvida um grande ator. Heathcliff entretanto nao me cativa. Nao deixa de ser mais um classico de 1939.

classic. One of my favorite movies of all time. Kudos to old films for not caving into the "happy ending"
-

The first film I saw where I realized Lawrence Olivier was an incredibly sexy, handsome, romantic leading man when he was younger. I've never understood why Heathcliff was so taken with Kathy.

Revered as one of the most tragic love stories ever written, "Wuthering Heights" is also beautifully adapted to film. Laurence Olivier's portrayal of Heathcliff is nearly as powerful as the story itself.
-

I can see why this movie is highly regarded as a classic. An eternal story about true love. (ah, shut up. I can be mushy) There is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie as far as I can tell.
-
MCT:July 12, 2007
The only movie I can watch over and over and over!
"Take me to the window, Heathcliff...
Don't leave me, Cathy!" -
MCT:June 28, 2007
Cuts out a whole generation of the story, leaving the plot hanging about half-way through the book, But still quite an interesting adaption, purely becuse WH is basically unfilmable in my opinion, the charaters are too OTT for film, and if they were toned down the whole thing would be rendered pointless.

*Wipes a tear* Holy SHIT that's a powerful story. Gotta read the book. And... FUCK, it's no bullshit, Larry Olivier was truly great!
-
MCT:June 20, 2007
oh yeah... this flick has been remade and rehashed so many times and in so many coutries and languages... figures that I havent watched the original film yet...
-
MCT:June 19, 2007
This movie just PERSONIFIES passion in its best and most destructive forms- a must see for anyone.
It's one of my personal favorites and one of Laurence Olivier's greatest feats... -
MCT:June 18, 2007
Fantastic! MUST SEE! Not a huge romance buff but this one is not one to be missed. Classic - watch it late at night....

What a movie I love this movie I saw it when I was younger and have never forgotten it. It has a wonderful lesson in it and is entertaining all the way a must for all young girls

Despite only covering half the novel (although, arguably, the second half is redundant), this is, IMO, the best film adaptation of this gothic tale. Olivier is the perfect brooding scorned lover...

My favorite movie (this version!) and novel of all time. This is the only movie that I can watch over and over and over. "Take me to the window Heathcliff...Don't leave me Cathy!" The movie leaves out part of the story, but Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon are just awesome as Heathcliff and Cathy. What a love story!
