Heathcliff and Cathy grow to love each other, but Hindley's fraternal rivalry only deepens. When Catherine ultimately marries a prosperous neighboring landowner, Heathcliff charts a course of revenge with tragic consequences. Preserved in the original black and white.

English romance is defined by three sumptuous novels from the Brontë sisters. Charlotte's Jane Eyre stars Zelah Clarke (Dombey and Son) and Timothy Dalton (before he became James Bond) in the timeless story of an orphan who relies on intuition and intelligence to survive. Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall tells the tale of escape from an abusive marriage that stunned Victorian society. A young Ian McShane (Lovejoy) stars in Emily's Wuthering Heights, a powerful saga of unrequited love and sibling rivalry. Fully remastered, the remarkable works of the Brontës look better than ever.

EDIT: Week in Rewind/Movies is giving away five copies of Wuthering Heights 1967. The contest will end on November 30, 2009.
