Abismos de pasión (1954)

 

A partial retelling of Wuthering Heights in 19th century Mexico.

Wonderfully photographed and directed, this adaptation of the classic novel goes straight to the overheated passions and never lets loose; generally, a mainstream production with occasional Buñuel touches sprinkled in.

Maltin**1/2: "Strikingly directed but talky, overbaked, ultimately unsuccessful version..."
