I didn't like Goodbye Mr. Chips or that version of Wuthering Heights. Another movie that should have been aborted was the Greer Garson, Laurence Olivie version of Pride and Prejudice. Hollywood has certainly turned out some tripe.

Personally, I preferred the 1971 version of Wuthering Heights with Timothy Dalton. That version has all but disappeared from any listings of Wuthering Heights that I’ve seen. I know it was a British version, but I still thought it kept more of the spirit of the characters in the book. They weren’t too pretty like the 1939 actors were.

I wouldn't want to see anything that reflected badly on Greer Garson. I kind of conflate her, Myrna Loy and Claudette Colbert as an idealized model of the American woman in film.
