Movie review - "Wuthering Heights" (1970) **1/2

 AIP go for some Romeo and Juliet cash in what was meant to be the first in a series of classy literary pieces but they backed off. Terrific locations, and splendid work from Timothy Dalton, pretty good work from his co star, Ian Ogilvy ideal as Edgar, Hilary Dwyer a slight let down, and lots and lots of close ups for the girl who plays the maid.

Robert Fuest has some poor blocking. Erratic film. Sometimes astonishingly right, especially when Dalton is on fire. Other times not so crash hot. Typically classy Brit support including Harry Andrews.
