OT: 1958 version of WUTHERING HEIGHTS

[Gothick]

Besides being an important antecedent of the Gothic genre (which ultimately gave birth to Dan Curtis and Art Wallace's original concept for DS), Wuthering Heights contributed some suggested plot points in both the 1840 and, especially, PT 1841 storylines. This is a TV version from 1958 co-starring Richard Burton and Rosemary Harris (who I worshipped in her performance as novelist George Sand in a mid 1970s Masterpiece Theatre serial, "Notorious Woman").  The recording has gone unseen since 1958 and was recently found in an archive. It's being screened on TCM this evening.

I believe a very young Patty Duke also appears in this version.

I'll watch any and every version of Wuthering Heights - but I'm very disappointed that I was out last night and didn't get to see this. I wonder if TCM has it scheduled for another showing? I'll have to check their Web site...

[Mysterious Benefactor]

It doesn't look like it's scheduled again, but maybe they'll show it again one day...

It might be available for streaming through their site. I don't fully understand how that works, but a friend of mine watches a lot of stuff on there via the streaming feature. He said it is typically just for one week after the initial broadcast.

Thanks - I'll check that out.
