Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWarners initially tried to borrow Joan Fontaine for Emily Brontë so she could play opposite her real-life sister Olivia de Havilland, but when an agreement couldn't be reached, the part was played by Warner contractee Ida Lupino.
- GoofsWhen Emily enters her brother's sickroom and doesn't completely shut its door, a hand and arm very obviously reach out from outside the room and shuts it.
- Quotes
Emily Bronte: All our lives there has been too much left unsaid between us. Loving is the only thing that really matters, Charlotte. It's worthwhile being hurt a bit to find that out. The world has always frightened me a little, so I'm really not afraid to leave it now. Though sometimes, when I hear the wind blowing through the heather, or see the sun go down beyond Wuthering Heights, I think, perhaps, I'd like to stay just a little longer.
- Crazy creditsDame May Whitty's name is spelled incorrectly in the opening credits. It is spelled as follows - "Dame Mae Whitty" - using the spelling the same way that Mae West spelled her name, (with an E, and not a Y). This is a terrible blunder for such a highly respected actress.
