Luis Buñuel's arid re-do of the Emily Brontë tale — dry in its wit as well as its Mexican landscape. This version is no more distorting of the original novel than was William Wyler's soupy one (1939), and Buñuel gives at least a little idea of why the novel was a favorite among the surrealists. The ending ought to be, if it isn't already, a milestone of the necrophiliac cinema. With Irasema Dilian, Jorge Mistral, Lilia Prado. (1953) — Duncan Shepherd
