Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon, and David Niven star in this internationally-acclaimed masterpiece based on Emily Bronte's classic story of passion, hatred and revenge. Olivier and Oberon are brilliant as Heathcliff and Cathy, whose tortured love affair ends when Cathy marries the wealthy Edgar (David Niven). Heathcliff's savage retaliation upon the woman he loves explodes in a stunning climax.
