Wuthering Heights
March 23, 2012  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
It’s a Bronte night on TCM, starting with this 1939 classic adaptation of the Emily Bronte novel. Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier star as Cathy and Heathcliff, with David Niven and Geraldine Fitzgerald in supporting roles. After this, it’s on to Jane Eyre, at 10 p.m. ET, and a 1944 adaptation of sister Charlotte Bronte’s novel, starring Orson Welles, Joan Fontaine and Margaret O’Brien. Then, at midnight ET, the triple feature ends with 1946’s Devotion, a somewhat sappy biographical drama about the Bronte sisters themselves. Ida Lupino plays Emily, Olivia de Havilland plays Charlotte, and – get this – William Makepeace Thackeray is played by Sydney Greenstreet.
