318 THE TALKING PICTURE Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur made an expert screen adaptation of Emily Bronte's novel, Withering Heights, and Samuel Goldwyn gave it a cast and production that resulted in one of the finest pictures Hollywood has ever turned out. Merle Oberon as Cathy, David Niven as Linton, and Laurence Olivier as Heathcliff were a trio that could hardly have been bettered; and William Wyler's direction was superb. Here are Miss Oberon and Olivier in one of the early scenes. BELOW Olivier's acting talents and personality were admirably suited to the moodiness of Heathcliff's character. His was an unforgettable performance. In this scene are Niven, Miss Oberon, and Olivier.
