Inside the dark and austere farmhouse of Wuthering Heights,
the impetuous Cathy first meets Heathcliff - an orphan her
father rescued from the streets of London. As the two grow
up, they spend endless days exploring the sprawling moors
of Yorkshire, eventually discovering in each other a fiery,
powerful love. But when Cathy is introduced to their wealthy
neighbours - and promised to marry their son, her social equal
- a fury is ignited within Heathcliff that can only be extinguished
by one thing - revenge...
This
version of Wuthering Heights from 1970 stars Timothy
Dalton (more famous for his portrayal of British secret service
agent James Bond in The
Living Daylights
and Licence
to Kill)
as Heathcliff. Based on Emily Bronte's classic tale of love
and passion and set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire
moors, this production is stunningly beautiful.
Dalton
and Anna Calder-Marshall (playing Cathy) are perfect in their
roles. In fact it's fair to say that there is not a bad actor
anywhere in this production.
This
production stars plenty of other familiar faces including
Julian
Glover (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Doctor
Who), Ian Ogilvy (The Return of the Saint), Peter
Sallis (Wallace and Gromit) and Judy Cornwell (Keeping
up Appearances).
While
there are no extras on this release, the £12.99 price
tag is well worth it. This
movie is as fresh today as it was when it was released in
1970 - a timeless classic.
