Wuthering Heights

Based On the book by Emily Brontë

Wuthering Heights is a 1953 British TV production of Emily Brontë's classic 1847 novel. It was made because Richard Todd, then at the height of his film popularity, expressed interest in playing Heathcliff and the BBC arranged for an adaptation to be made. Todd wrote in his memoirs that he was approached to make it by Michael Barry and Rudolph Cartier. He was making a French film The Bed at the time.
