Had there also been an Oscar for best smouldering, Olivier would have walked it.

The cast is faultless.

The Nation
A lot of reverence has gone into a picture which should have been as coarse as a sewer.

It's okay, but it's the kind of classic that puts people off classics.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Wyler's shot composition, production values, and art direction were the most impeccable in the industry.

Rating: A- --
Ace cinematographer Gregg Toland deservedly won the Oscar for his moody b/w imagery in William Wyler's supremely mounted production of Bronte's tragic novel; the only mediocre element is Merle Oberon's performance.

Emily Bronte's novel tells a haunting tale of love and tragedy. Samuel Goldwyn's film version retains all of the grim drama of the book. It's heavy fare throughout.

Description by OLDIES.com:
When Lockwood (Miles Mander) arrives at Wuthering Heights, it is dark and snowing. Lockwood needs shelter, but he is not welcome. His host, Heathcliff (Laurence Olivier), is ungracious, if not positively hostile. Lockwood wakes in the night and, as he tries to close a window, feels hands clasping at his. He screams for help. Heathcliff arrives, then plunges into the night. Lockwood wonders what this means, and Ellen (Flora Robson) begins to tell him the story.
