This film is dire. I usually like classic cinema but this did not do it for me at all. It did not stay even slightly true to the tone of Emily Brontë's novel. Considering this story is supposed to be about primitive, animalistic, savage cruelty, every character in this adaptation is so prissy and posh! The plot feels so trivial: Catherine falls in love with Heathcliff, then Edgar, then Heathcliff, then Edgar again, followed by lots of posh whining...ugh. It did not work. And the ending was so stupid; one moment was almost like pantomime.
Why was Catherine played by such a posh actress? She's supposed to be from Yorkshire. She didn't have a trace of a Yorkshire accent.
0/10. Dire.
