I disagree with the reviewer who gave this video a 1 because: 1. At least we see the entire story. Most versions do not. 2. It is NOT a Hollywood sugar-coated version. 3. It is black and white which is how I see the stark reality of the
the Yorkshire moors. It lends to the primitive nature of the residents. 4. The reviewer didn't like anyone in the film. You aren't supposed to.
Heathcliff is quite mad and/or evil; Cathy spoiled and disloyal.
Hindley and Linton are weaklings. These are primitive people. The only
reasonably sane people are the next generation. They are still
primitive but a real love affair is possible. 5. The acting is more than satisfactory. It made the reviewer noted above
angry at he behavior of Emily's characters which is what was intended.
