Synopsis

The story of unfortunate lovers Cathy (Merle Oberon) and Heathcliff (Sir Laurence Olivier) who, despite a deep affection for one another, are forced by circumstance and prejudice to live their lives apart.

Heathcliff and Cathy first meet as children when her father, Mr. Earnshaw (Cecil Kellaway) brings the abandoned boy to live with them.

When the old man dies several years later, Cathy's brother, Hindley (Hugh Williams), now the master of the estate, turns Heathcliff out, forcing him to live with the servants and working as a stable boy.

The barrier of class comes between them, and she eventually marries a rich neighbor, Edgar Linton (David Niven), at which point, Heathcliff disappears.

He returns several years later, now a rich man, but little can be done.

Robert Smith
2/10

I found the soundtrack of Wuthering Heights to be lacking in emotional depth and failed to capture the intense and tumultuous love story between Cathy and Heathcliff. The music did not enhance the tragic and passionate moments in the film, leaving me feeling disconnected from the characters' struggles and emotions.

Matthew Lee
2/10

Additionally, I felt that the soundtrack failed to create a cohesive atmosphere for the film, with disjointed pieces that did not flow well with the narrative. The music appeared out of place in certain scenes, disrupting the overall viewing experience and making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story of the star-crossed lovers.
