What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on Emily Brontë's novel "Wuthering Heights" (1847).
  • Samuel Goldwyn found the initial screenplay too bleak for a romantic film and hired several writers to revise it. Among them was a young John Huston, who stated that the script was excellent and did not need to be reworked (however, he ultimately did not refuse the fee).
  • The heather featured in the film was brought from England and transplanted to the swamps of California.
  • Ronald Colman, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and Robert Newton were all considered for the role of Heathcliff.
  • Vivien Leigh wanted to play the leading role (Laurence Olivier was her lover at the time), but the studio refused. Later, after reconsidering, the studio offered Vivien Leigh the role of Isabella Linton, but the actress declined.
  • Mitchell Camera Corporation chose Gregg Toland as a "guinea pig": he filmed the movie using the company's new motion picture camera – the Mitchell BNC Camera, which was destined to become the studio standard.
  • At the end of the film, we see two ghosts. This scene was filmed after the main shooting process had ended. Olivier and Oberon had already moved on to other projects and were replaced by stunt doubles.
  • The film is based on Emily Brontë’s novel "Wuthering Heights" (1847).
  • Mitchell Camera chose cinematographer Gregg Toland as a "test subject": he filmed the movie using the company’s new motion picture camera – the Mitchell BNC Camera, which was intended to become the studio standard.
