And in New York,
the current film exhibition at the MoMa (
Collaborations in the Collection) includes Wuthering Heights 1939:
This ongoing exhibition samples a wide range of film collaborations, both classic and contemporary, well-known and rarely noticed, and takes into account all roles in film production, including screenwriting, producing, editing, cinematography, and music composition. As evidenced in the films selected, there can exist multiple—often overlapping—degrees of collaboration. These titles from MoMA's collection, when presented together, provide filmgoers the opportunity to view them in a different light. The opening selections represent an assortment of collaborative relationships, including director/screenwriter (Ernst Lubitsch and Samson Raphaelson, Josef von Sternberg and Jules Furthman, Howard Hawks and Ben Hecht), director/cinematographer (Wong Kar-Wai and Christopher Doyle), director/actor (Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski, Josef von Sternberg and Marlene Dietrich), and screenwriting partnerships (Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur).
The Hecht-MacArthur partnership is behind Wuthering Heights 1939:
Wuthering Heights. 1939. USA. Directed by William Wyler. Screenplay by Ben Hecht, Charles MacArthur, based on the novel by Emily Brontë. With Merle Oberon, Laurence Olivier, David Niven. The last formal screenplay collaboration between Hecht and MacArthur is this adaptation of Brontë's tale of untamed and unrequited love on the Yorkshire moors. 102 min.
