The 1939 version of this kinda masterpiece of English literature was by and large superior. Not in the least because Timothy Dalton cannot rival Laurence Olivier as the protagonist Heathcliff. But this movie also stands out for its absolute darkness, its love story of rarely equaled tragedy, its sublime description of the desolate Yorkshire moors, its characters of astonishing depth and its hint of fantasy.
