I believe it’s true.
Richard Burton? Sir Lawrence Olivia?🤷
I'd watch Richard Burton talking about toilet paper just to hear that voice
NEVER HAVE SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE. ALWAYLS WATCHED THE ORIGINAL ONE. THIS SHOULD BE GOOD. THANK YOU FOR THE UPLOAD.
Thank you 😁
For the spoken-word version of this Richard Burton is best. Monty Python is optimal for the semaphore version.
Thanks for providing this version, which iI had never seen before. Enjoyed it!

At 4:30, in real life you'd sleep by the fire on old coats or whatever, so as to stay healthy. You wouldn't consider a tower room as cold as the grave 🪦
Just clicked on, already know it's a good movie, Bronte and Burton
I thought always, the impetous Borderlinelike Burton would be the perfect Heathcliff. Never thought to see it. And he is! What different to the gentlement Olivier. Although in 1958 the TV setting was still theatralic, but he got the rough tone without impulsecontroll which is characteristic for this Baronic novel antihero. What nature force here, like his best film "Night of Iguana".
Dalton/Fiennes/Hardy got now a real concurrent in this role to compare.
And also other atmosferic parts, like the lack of sympathy in each role are nearer to ths novel.
Very dramatic!…. ty. First time ever seeing this .
thank you
This one is better than the 2011 version 👌
Sehr interessanter Film, da er bei Denholm Eliott, Rosemary Harris und bei Richard Burton nicht in Wikipedia aufgezählt wird.
Ich kenne auch nur die Fassung mit Laurence Olivier❣
Dankeschön 👋🏼🥰🖖🏼
The much better version is the one of 1939 with laurence olivier and merle oberon…….
So pleased to see this. I really think Burton brings something which none of the other Heathcliff actors have done, which is to bring out the wildness in Heathcliff. Olivier's performance as early Heathcliff was a bit cringy because you could never believe him as 'rough' Heathcliff, only the well-spoken one (adaptations of My Fair Lady can often have a similar problem). Seeing as Burton was not posh but was trained to sound posh, he was a good choice for the role.
