Radio review – Ford Theatre – Ep#65 “Wuthering Heights” (1949) ***1/2


Montgomery Clift isn’t the first actor you’d think to play Heathcliff and he doesn’t quite work – maybe it could if the script were written for a more sensitive, neurotic Heathcliff – but this is taken from the Ben Hecht-Charles MacArthur script. Still it’s fascinating to hear him gnash his knuckles and take off with a dying Cathy into the heather.
