Wuthering Heights 1939 at the Glasgow Film Festival

As part of the Glasgow Film Festival’s 20th anniversary celebration, Wuthering Heights 1939 will be shown at the Glasgow Film Theatre today, March 2. Directed by Oscar-winner William Wyler and starring Laurence Olivier as Heathcliff and Merle Oberon as Cathy, this screening gives audiences a chance to revisit this iconic adaptation on the big screen.

The film will be shown as part of the festival’s “Our Story So Far” program, which aims to showcase classic movies that reflect milestones in Glasgow Film’s history over the past 50 years since the founding of the Glasgow Film Theatre, house of the Festival. Though a Hollywood production, Wuthering Heights’s bleak and windswept setting in Northern England makes it a fitting choice for a Glasgow audience to experience this brooding tale of all-consuming obsession.

Glasgow Film Festival - Our Story so Far
Wuthering Heights 1939
Saturday March 2, 10.30 AM.

From the BBC website:

The festival's annual free morning retrospective screenings will be a journey through Glasgow film history
Four of the films were released in 1939, a year important for Glasgow film history with the opening of The Cosmo, but also for cinema as a whole, considered by many as the greatest year in film history.
The four films being shown will be Mr Smith Goes To Washington, Ninotchka, Only Angels Have Wings and Wuthering Heigh
