haunting, haunting, 22 January 2005

I guess I will just say "ditto" to the review by sphynx7-- that review echoes what my feelings are for the film- especially that Timothy Dalton IS Heathcliff-- looks, voice, attitude, awkwardness, inability to express his deep and passionate feelings and touch of tenderness.... an extremely hard character to capture, and Timothy got it all. And those green eyes................(sigh) One of my all time favorite movies (and books) Just figured out that I must enter 10 lines of text, so I must add that 2 of my favorite instrumental pieces I like to listen to are both by Michel Legrand, and both from movies-- the score to Wuthering Heights, and the one from Summer of '42.
