What happens

Wuthering Heights is a 1970 British period romantic drama film directed by Robert Fuest, based on the 1847 Emily Brontë novel of the same name. It stars Anna Calder-Marshall as Cathy and Timothy Dalton as Heathcliff, with supporting roles played by Harry Andrews, Pamela Brown, Hugh Griffith, Ian Ogilvy and Judy Cornwell. The film was produced by the British branch of American International Pictures, who also distributed the film in the United States. Like the 1939 version, it depicts only the first sixteen chapters concluding with Cathy Linton's death and omits the trials of her daughter, Hindley's son and Heathcliff's son. The film opened to mixed reviews, but was a commercial success, grossing $4.5 million from a $800,000 production budget. Michel Legrand's score earned a Best Original Score nomination at the 28th Golden Globe Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
