Julian S. @akajulianscott Oct 8 Wyler turns Brontë’s turbulence inward, creating a film that’s as much about repression as romance. The result is quietly devastating, not for what it shows, but for what it withholds. See more Paul E @PassoutTomatoes Mar 23 Great story but not a great movie due largely to the limitations of being made in 1939. See more Rare T 12/12/2024 Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier’s chemistry is so strong that not only do they meticulously convey the feeling of being in love, but they also make it feel as realistic as if it were in real life, even as if the audience was feeling it. Only Jean Arthur and Charles Boyer had come close to a chemistry like this in History Is Made at Night (1937). Once that feeling is established, that’s where the magic of the rest of the movie happens. So one has to feel it to understand the strength of the story, regardless of having had read the book or not. And it’s no surprise that above all, Wuthering Heights won an Academy Award for its cinematography.

Watched on Amazon Prime.

See more Kyle M 10/12/2022 A romantic classic that intrigues unconventionally, and subtly mysteriously in post-thought realization within the connective theming that was narratively forewarned, as director William Wyler sympathizes with the source material than just adapting a timeless tale of wealth soulful corruption imprinting cursedly and haunted love resisting the truest notion by mutual guilt. Unique, unexpected resonance from this picture that defies expectations thanks to the cast's exceptional performances bringing the brilliantly written script to something inspirationally Shakespearean by tonal deliverance.
