Vadromantikus történet egy múlt századi angol úrilány és a vele nevelkedett árva cigányfiú tragikus szerelméről, amelyből Hollywood legjobb mesterei készítettek nemcsak gazdag kiállítású és szépen fényképezett, hanem kitűnően rendezett s játszott filmváltozatot. (Örökmozgó)
Recenziók (3)
Bronte regényének CSODÁLATOS adaptációja. A fekete-fehér kép hangulatához és költészetéhez ma már semmi sem hasonlítható. Egy másik filmklasszikus, amely a mozgóképek szívmelengető ünnepe.

A beautiful rendition of a wonderful story, highlighted by excellent performances, especially Laurence Olivier in the lead role. Even at a relatively young age, he demonstrated his maturity as an actor perfectly suited for these character roles. Seeing him on stage must have been breathtaking, but even in the film, it’s amazing. Thank goodness these films are preserved.

William Wyler aims to win the hearts of his audience. There is a mysterious introduction featuring a stranger who breaks through a snowstorm and seeks refuge at Wuthering Heights, where he then witnesses something paranormal and wants to hear the tragic love story which seems to cast a dark shadow. Unfortunately, after that the movie then turns into beautifully filmed load of sloppy kitsch, whose central couple (the beautiful Merle Oberon and the charismatic Laurence Olivier) does not really motivate the audience to be rooting for them, because they are both very unlikeable characters - the female protagonist behaves as if she suffers from bipolar affective disorder, and Olivier's vengeful ruffian gradually destroys any kind of sympathy from the audience. They both speak of their great love for each other, yet they constantly take courses of action which lead them to be apart, unable to really be together. The paradox may have been more apparent in Emily Brontë's masterpiece, which I have not yet read, whereas the movie portrays an affected doomed relationship (in other words, a typical trashy romance) that you could enjoy if you ignored of the plot and its characters and just enjoyed the well-produced technical side of the movie (real Oscar-winning camerawork). The overall impression I got, however, was that the movie was unconvincing. [LFŠ 2019]
