Wuthering Heights

Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon, David Niven and Geraldine Fitzgerald star in the screen adaptation of Emily Bronte’s tale of passion, hatred and revenge.

Hailed as a "timeless masterpiece," WUTHERING HEIGHTS is the story of a tortured love affair between Heathcliff and Cathy, her escape by marriage to the wealthy Edgar and Heathcliff’s savage retaliation upon the woman he loves.
