Wyler's shot composition, production values, and art direction were the most impeccable in the industry.

Best version of the Gothic-romance revenge tale.

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

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.

The cast is faultless.

The definitive version.

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.
