The fourth screen version of Emily Brontë's famous story of the doomed love affair between Catherine and Heathcliff on their beloved Yorkshire moors. Visually director Robert Fuest and his talented cameraman John Coquillon do capture the ghastly bleak beauty of Brontë's powerful novel. But the script is much less spirited than in the classic 1939 Olivier film, and only Anna Calder-Marshall (as Catherine) and the ever-excellent Judy Cornwell remain for long in the memory. A young and brooding Timothy Dalton is Heathcliff.
