  • Basiert auf: Sturmhöhe

Wuthering Heights is a 1920 British silent drama film directed by A.V. Bramble and starring Milton Rosmer, Colette Brettel and Warwick Ward. It is the first film adaptation of the 1847 novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, and was primarily filmed in and around her home village of Haworth. It is not known whether the film currently survives, and it is considered to be a lost film.

Production

Unlike most later adaptations of the Emily Brontë novel, this version includes the novel's storyline following the second generation. Contemporary reviews however noted that in spite of following the book closely, certain liberties are taken with the novel, and that the characters Isabella Linton and her son Linton Heathcliff are omitted from the movie altogether.
