What are some differences between the movie version of Wuthering Heights and the book?
Just like the question says, what are some of the differences you found between the two?
Which movie version are you talking about? I know of seventeen different film versions, and I’ve seen eleven of them.
Are you talking about the 1939 classic with Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon? (That’s the most famous version.)
The main difference would be that they left off the entire second half of the novel. This film version ended with Catherine’s death.
The majority of film versions don’t get the book right, and there are almost too many differences to name. If you could tell me specifically which film version you’re asking about, I might be able to tell you more.
If you want to know which film version is the closest to the novel, that would be the 1978 BBC miniseries starring Ken Hutchinson and Kay Adshead. I have to say, they actually did a pretty good job sticking to the novel. I think it’s about as close as a film version could get.
