VHS Movie Reviews of Wuthering Heights [VHS]
Movie Review: Wuthering Heights
Summary: 3 Stars
The next time I buy anything from the internet, I will read the product information a little more carefully. The movie I purchased, "Wuthering Heights" was made for Region 2. I'm not sure I know what that means, but apparently my DVD player does not accommodate movies made for Region 2. I can't return the film because the product description clearly states (on a second look)that this video can only be seen on Region 2 DVD players.
Summary of Wuthering Heights [VHS]
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
