Oliver Reed briefly sought the lead role.
The script drops hints that Heathcliff is really Earnshaw's illegitimate son, either by a mistress or a prostitute, and thus is Cathy's half-brother. While many critics over the years have debated an incestuous subtext in the novel, this was the first film version to be (relatively) open about the issue.
Like Wuthering Heights (1939), this film depicts only the first sixteen chapters concluding with Catherine Earnshaw Linton's death, and omits the trials of her daughter, Hindley's son, and Heathcliff's son.
AIP had announced a sequel Return to Wuthering Heights but it was not made. Neither were other adaptations of classic novels mooted by the studio, including Camille, The House of Seven Gables, and Tale of Two Cities.
During the mid 1960s, Lindsay Anderson was desperately trying to persuade Richard Harris to star as Heathcliff, for his proposed retelling of Wuthering Heights. Harris' reluctance, and this AIP version of the tale, put an end to his dream project.
"Nellie: It's for god to punish the wicked. Heathcliff: Why should god have all the satisfaction?"
"Heathcliff: Joseph, what have you heard? Joseph: Been sick. She's up now. With child. Seven month. Heathcliff: And how is Edgar taken that? Joseph: He's waiting to the colour of its eyes."
