Did not follow the book. Timothy Dalton was a 'slap em around, throw em down' kind of lover. The BBC productions are much more refined.

I searched for this movie for years before it was finally released on video. I have two copies in VHS and now finally a DVD that hopefully will survive time! I think this version fills in the blanks that Emily Bronte couldn't write about in her time, but it also has some elements directly from the book that are missing from other Wuthering Heights versions. Watch this movie! You will fall in love like never before.

Having seen this movie some years ago on video, I'm very excited that it is available on DVD. While Sir Laurence Olivier and Ralph Fiennes have both done respectable turns as Heathcliff, Timothy Dalton is just glorious!! He embodies the character's passion, ambivalence and consuming torment and longing for Cathy splendidly. Anna Calder-Marshall, while perhaps not one would think would make an ideal Cathy, is wonderful as the Yorkshire lass. Oh, how these two sizzle! Whenever Dalton speaks, or broods, the room temperature just seemed to skyrocket! The ill-fated lovers find themselves separated and bound by circumstance and other people, leading to tragic results.
Sure, the consummation of their relationship did not occur in the book, but with young hot actors like Timothy and Anna, how could the filmmakers not succumb to temptation? The locations (complete with windswept wild moors) and music are intoxicatingly gorgeous as well. I don't know how Emily Bronte would feel about this adaptation, but I'd like to think that this production would have done her proud.
Make sure you've got a fan going, as well as ice cold drinks, because the heat will go way up!

For Timothy Dalton's performance alone, I should have given this movie 5 stars. Dalton's devilish dark good looks, and the way he brought out Heathcliff's passion, rage, and fury, rendered him the best Heathcliff I have ever seen portrayed on screen. You could see the evil in him and the VIOLENCE frightens you. The movie's music and scenery gives one a taste of life in the English moors. And, I was impressed with watching details from the book. But, the movie lacked real passion and drama, and overall emotion and feeling that the 1992 version exuded. Too, since this movie did not keep to the original plot, like the 1939 and the 1992 versions,--And ended with Heathcliff being shot (What? Heathcliff was never SHOT in the book!) I have to say that I did not thoroughly enjoy this movie.

NOT AS GOOD AS OLIVIER, complete tosh Timothy Daltons portrail of Heathcliff is the only one!!!
Not only is his physical proximity totally correct (i should know as have romany blood myself !) his saturnine manner, passion and moments of fury and frustrated inner turmoil make this a far better portrail of wuthering heights than the milk and water 1939 version. GOD they used the desert for the yorkshire moors, the director hadn't even read the book.
The sound track is totally wonderful as well .
The only slight let-down is Anna Calder Marshall, her performance is ok but I think kate o'Mara would have made a better choice to play Cathy,but on the whole a totally awsome film.
