Wuthering Heights (1939) Part 1 of 11

Emily Bronte's masterpiece is perfectly sublime in this film version directed by the great William Wyler. Merle Oberon should on merit have won an oscar! Although the story is reduced it is also simpler and more glamorous than the book. Everything is captured ... the haunting love and the deep singular emotional power. Emily Bronte died thinking her unique literary efforts were a failure but her memory will shine in our eyes and in our hearts by this film as well as her spellbinding book!

Classic , but sadly forgotten today . Da new version ( wid Fiennes ) is da shites ...

is this movie based right out of the book? or has it been changed?

My professor showed us this film today in class.

Great F'n movie!

My favorite movie of all time I even have the book.

One of the greatest movies ever made. Surprisingly underrated today. Beat Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington for Best Picture at the New York Film Critics Awards, it certainly is in their league.

Fair enough. I've read the book now and I think that the BBC version wasn't very true to the book.

I honestly think that its a tie between this version and the 1993 version. But the 2009 version is nothing at all to the book

is this movie exactly like the book?

No. Not at all. Well...in the begining, yes, but this movie doesnt even complete the story. The movie stops when Catherine dies, but the book continues the tale. Catherine dies giving birth, you see. and the movie doesnt even show she's pregnent and it ends. So no. This mive isnt like the book
