Critic Reviews for Wuthering Heights

All Critics (10) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (4)

I admire its courage and the always welcome presence of Harry Andrews (as Earnshaw), Judy Cornwell (as Nellie), Pamela Browne, Rosalie Crutchley. But I can't forgive its dullness.

Margaret Hinxman
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Less melodramatic and earthier than the classic 1939 version with Olivier, Robert Fuest's take still heaves with passion thanks to Dalton's fiery chemistry with Anna Calder-Marshall's Cathy.

Danny Graydon
Empire Magazine
Because Miss Brontë's Wuthering Heights defies easy or consistent interpretation... the director, and Patrick Tilley, who did the adaptation, have felt free to make bluntly clear relationships that in the novel remain forever ambiguous.

Vincent Canby
New York Times
Wuthering Heights is a competent, tasteful, frequently even lovely re-adaption of Emily Bronte's Gothic, mystical love story. But the brooding tension, the electric passion of two lovers compelled to an inevitable tragedy is not generated.

Variety
A superb version of this classic love story.

Robert Sullivan
Los Angeles Free Press
Obviously aiming for a little cultural respectability, producers Samuel Z Arkoff and James H Nicholson (co-founders of B-movie factory AIP) were rewarded with some striking images from cinematographer John Coquillon and steady direction from Robert Fuest.

All in all, I still think Luis Buuel's 1954 Mexican version is the best I've seen.

Gone are the years of Heathcliff's anguish, of Cathy's spirit wandering over the moors. Gone is the note that even in death their misery will continue. Gone, in short, is the whole point of Wuthering Heights.
