    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The script drops hints that Heathcliff is really Earnshaw's illegitimate son, either by a mistress or a prostitute, and thus is Cathy's half-brother. While many critics over the years have debated an incestuous subtext in the novel, this was the first film version to be (relatively) open about the issue.
    • Goofs
      In agony at Cathy's gravesite, Heathcliff pounds his head against a nearby tree. As he runs his fingers down it, it's obvious that the bark is most likely made of rubber.
    • Quotes

      Nellie: It's for God to punish the wicked.

      Heathcliff: Why should God have all the satisfaction?

    • Crazy credits
      After a funeral scene, the opening credits appear in blue letters on a background of darkened, almost silhouette like, Yorkshire moor landscapes, scenes which appear again later in the film.
    • Alternate versions
      A video released in the UK in the '80s ran only 80 minutes and was rated 'U', but the 2003 submission was the full 100 minute version and rated 'PG'

    Samuel Arkoff's Best

    The 1970 version of Wuthering Heights is the best version of the novel on film. Restrained, realistic, it did not go "over the top" emotionally like the 1939 one. Timithy Dalton' s portrayal of Heathcliff is very passionate but is more of a real person instead of just a romantic idel. Samuel J. Arkoff died yesterday. He made a lot of low budget exploitation pictures in the fifties and sixties.

    They were fun and not demeaning like the films of today. In 1970 he made this very serious film and was never really given the publicity or the credit he deserved.
