The cast is faultless.

The definitive version.

It's okay, but it's the kind of classic that puts people off classics.

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.

This is a first-class Hollywood production.
September 10, 2002
Wyler's shot composition, production values, and art direction were the most impeccable in the industry.

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.

Best version of the Gothic-romance revenge tale.
