Wuthering Heights is a 1953 British TV production of Emily Brontë's classic 1847 novel.[1] It was made because Richard Todd, then at the height of his film popularity, expressed interest in playing Heathcliff and the BBC arranged for an adaptation to be made.[2] Todd wrote in his memoirs that he was approached to make it by Michael Barry and Rudolph Cartier. He was making a French film The Bed at the time. Todd said the production was "to break new ground: far from being static with few camera angles, we had over 70 different set-ups to contend with and several cameras to shoot them."[3]
The production was very popular, although no recordings are thought to have survived.[4] Kneale's script was filmed in Australia in 1959.[5]
