The Earnshaws are Yorkshire farmers during the early 19th Century. One day, Mr. Earnshaw returns from a trip to the city, bringing with him a ragged little boy called Heathcliff. Earnshaw's son, Hindley, resents the child, but Heathcliff becomes companion and soulmate to Hindley's sister, Catherine. After her parents die, Cathy and Heathcliff grow up wild and free on the moors and despite the continued enmity between Hindley and Heathcliff they're happy -- until Cathy meets Edgar Linton, the son of a wealthy neighbor.

"I like this one because it was my mother's favorite. This movie like the Timothy Dalton version is cut short because the story should carry on with the lives of all three children but this on like the Timothy Dalton version ends....well very early on. Watching it while comparing it to 2 other versions I think it has more fantasy and fable story to the children's play history part. I also think Merle Oberon was my preferred version of Cathy. I don't prefer how mean Cathy is in some of the versions. It's been so long since I read the book and I don't remember if Cathy is mean in the book. There is some interesting trivia about the making of this movie: David Niven had a "No crying" clause in his contract that he had to produce to show when the time came to produce crying for the movie."
"Very watered down version."
