She was absolutely marvelous in this film. Yes, the hair and makeup helped. But in her final scene in the film, where she's so broken and desperate, she is scarily good. Haunting. Fantastic!

I totally agree, she stole Merle Oberon's thunder in the last 15 minutes. But Hattie McDaniel won the Oscar of that year.

I loved her line about how,"You're all of life to me, let me be a
single breath of it to you. Heathcliff! Let your heart look at me
just once." GF was heartbreaking here, and in Dark Victory the same
year.

She was indeed great in this film. I don't think I could've pictured anyone else playing her role as well as her. I mean she had some great moments during the filmmany of which were heart breakingunrequited love at its best.

Really hers was a more sympathetic characterisation than Cathy's. Merle
Oberon's chilling hauteur could be off-putting, it was a by-product of
her Eurasian background and uncertainty about where she fit in in the
rigid and complex British class system.

Had only seen her in "OSS" before watching "Wuthering Heights" for the first time last night. Any other recomendations???? "OSS" was good, a bit different than this movie though.

She was amazing, especially when she's begging for Heathcliff's affection standing under the doorway, what a scene.
I think I heard that Laurence Olivier years later dismissed the movie primarily because he was embarrased by his pompous (I come from the theater!) attitude during the filming and said that Geraldine Fitzgerald was the only good thing in it.

What a nice tribute.
A lesser actress would have made Isabella merely pitiful, maybe even ridiculous. Geraldine Fitzgerald, though, made her a truly tragic figure who somehow retained her dignity even as she abandoned her pride. I love her performance, and her look, in this movie and think she is the best thing about it. Beside her Isabella, Heathcliff and Cathy look like a couple of melodramatic and petulant teenagers.

Her scene under the doorway with Heathcliff was the most heartbreaking part of the whole film for me. It was so incredibly real.

I couldn't agree more: she was absolutely wonderful in this movie; her performance was terrific and absolutely heartbreaking. Ms. Fitzgerald deserved to be a big star.
