Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 55/100 --
It's an unmotivated, loose script with a rambling tale and impotent casting that degrades this otherwise mildly satisfying hanky-fest.

Ralph Fiennes makes a demonic Heathcliff, his startlingly blue eyes the only concession to a matinee audience. This performance reminds us that early reviewers of the book were not wrong, when they wondered at the morbidity of its romanticism.

Filled with a dark brooding atmosphere suitable to its theme of doomed love.

Rating: 2/5 --
A valiant attempt at compressing a novel as complex as Bronte's into under 2 hours, but 'valiant' shouldn't be mistaken for 'failed'.

Peter Kosminsky's Wuthering Heights is a drone, depressing, and exhaustively revolting excuse for entertainment

Product Description:
Of the many British TV adaptations of Emily Bronte's gothic romance WUTHERING HEIGHTS, only a handful were able to cover the entire novel by virtue of the miniseries format. The first of these was telecast in four 50-minute segments from October 28 to November 18, 1967. Angela Scoular and Ian McShane were respectively starred as the foolishly headstrong aristocrat Cathy and her rough-hewn gypsy sweetheart Heathcliff. The next full-scale TV version of WUTHERING HEIGHTS would not appear until 1978.
