"Wuthering Heights" is a 1970 film directed by Robert Fuest. It is based on the classic Emily Bronte novel of the same name. Like the 1939 version, this film only depicts the first sixteen chapters concluding with Catherine Earnshaw Linton's death and omits the trials of her daughter, Hindley's son, and Heathcliff's son.

Wuthering Heights was nominated for Best Original Score at the 1971 Golden Globes. It was beaten by "Love Story".

Hindley Earnshaw

This film version differs from the book in several ways, and most of the differences involve Hindley Earnshaw. First it takes a more sympathetic look at Hindley. Usually portrayed as being a cruel oppressor of Heathcliff, in this version he is persecuted by his father and lives in Heathcliff's shadow. Also in this version, Nelly Dean, the narrator, is shown as being in love with Hindley and unable to express her feelings due to their class difference. After his wife's death, Hindley goes through a hedonistic stage, but finally pulls himself out of it. And finally, perhaps the most controversial of all the differences, Hindley succeeds in fatally shooting Heathcliff in the last 15 minutes of the film and remains the owner of Wuthering Heights.
