The TVI Take

William Wyler's Hollywood classic adapts only the first half of Brontë's novel but wrings every drop of melodrama from it. Laurence Olivier's Heathcliff is definitive, brooding, magnetic, genuinely threatening.

Gregg Toland's Oscar-winning cinematography is extraordinary. A masterclass in studio craft that softens the novel's darkness but never its passion.
