What happens

Wuthering Heights is a 1954 Mexican film directed by Luis Buñuel. Its original Spanish title is Abismos de pasión ("Abysses of Passion"). In 1931, Buñuel and Pierre Unik wrote a screenplay based on the 1847 Emily Brontë novel Wuthering Heights, but plans to produce the film fell through. Buñuel's producer, Oscar Dancigers, brought the idea back in the 1950s and was able to secure funding. The 1954 film was produced by Dancigers and Abelardo L. Rodríguez. It stars Irasema Dilián and Jorge Mistral as the Cathy and Heathcliff characters. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
