Locations: Wuthering Heights is more like a gothic mansion than a farmhouse and stands alone, not with other farm buildings. Main Actors: Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Sophie Ward, Janet McTeer, Simon Shepherd

The 1992 Movie (Ralph Fiennes and JulietteВ Binoche) This is thanks in part to the long running time (at twice that of the others) but it is let down a little by the production values which often look clearly studio-bound and relying on poor special effects. My Rating: This is without a doubt the most accurate depiction of the novel, following the novel almost line by line. Some of the acting, especially the children, is poor. Locations: A proper farmhouse, accurate even down to the carved porch and double height main room although rather short on outbuildings.Д¬haracters: Generally resemble the book descriptions closely but seem weak at times: Joseph is not quite nasty enough, Cathy, at the beginning, not as reserved and unfriendly as the novel. Main Actors: Ken Hutchison, Kay Adshead, John Duttine, Cathryn Harrison, Andrew Burleigh

The 1978 TV Series (Ken Hutchison and KayВ Adshead) There is no Lockwood and consequently no ghost at the window, an iconic moment. The fact that it only covers the single generation rather than the whole story, and the poor coverage of the important speeches, reduces the rating for this version. Frances is a little too sturdy and Isabella is not blonde.ДЇilm Locations: Unidentified farmhouse in West Yorkshire (Wuthering Heights) Weston Hall, Otley, West Yorkshire (Thrushcross Grange) Brimham Rocks, Summerbridge, North Yorkshire (Penistone Crags) Locations: Wuthering Heights is accurately shown as a large farmhouse, very close to the book (although the main room is still single-storeyed.Д¬haracters: Generally good with Ellen shown as a teenager when Heathcliff arrives, a rare accuracy in Wuthering Heights adaptations. Main Actors: Timothy Dalton, Anna Calder-Marshall, Judy Cornwell, Julian Glover, Ian Ogilvy Producer: Samuel Arkoff and James Nicholson The 1970 Movie (Timothy Dalton and AnnaВ Calder-Marshall) Enjoy it as a romance but, if you watch it as a portrayal of the book, you will be disappointed. The accuracy is dreadful (the titles even say 'Emily Bront Г©' rather than 'BrontГ«' for heavens sake!), the characters are almost unrecognisable and the setting a century and a half out. I'm sorry, this may be a great love story and wonderful film in itself but, as an adaptation of Wuthering Heights, it is very poor. Locations: A farmhouse at least but a little too Gothic and too spacious.Д¬haracters: Heathcliff too handsome and well spoken вЂ• he was supposed to be far less attractive than Edgar Isabella is as dark as Catherine when she is supposed to be a contrasting blonde Edgar also dark-haired Ellen too old Joseph too pleasant few Yorkshire accents.ДЇilm Locations: Janss Conejo Ranch, Thousand Oaks, California, USA Main Actors: Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon, David Niven, Flora Robson The 1939 Movie (LaurenceВ Olivier and MerleВ Oberon) Note: there are quite a few versions of Wuthering Heights but I only review those I have seen.ДЄs far as the star ratings are concerned, the more theВ better. 'Coverage' means whether the adaptation covers only the Heathcliff/Catherine story or whether it includes Heathcliff's revenge on the younger generation. I include an accuracy rating on the 'I am Heathcliff' speech since it is one of the most famous and important parts of the book вЂ“ it gives an idea of how accurate the adaptation is. Instead I examine the objective aspects of the versions such as how much of the novel it covers, how accurate the characters and locations are, etc. since these are a matter of opinion and mine is no more preferable to anyone else. Apart from a general star rating which is my personal view, I try to avoid as much as possible general criticism of the version such as acting, direction, script, etc. For the benefit of those who would like to watch one of the various movies or TV series of Wuthering Heights, I have included this page examining those versions that I have personally seen.
