In 2014, a film script used by director A.V. Bramble consisting of 22 pages of production notes alongside stills from the set of the cast and crew were found [3] and displayed to the public at the Bronte Parsonage Museum.[4]
Plot summary
Unlike most later adaptation of the Bronte novel, this version includes the novel's storyline following the second generation.[5] Contemporary reviews however noted in spite of following the book closely, certain liberties are taken with the novel, and that the characters Isabella and her son Linton are omitted from the movie all together.[6]

Reception
A review from The Guardian writes, "It is a credit to the British film industry that the screen version of the book shown yesterday in Manchester should be so good,” and give praise to Milton Rosmer's performance, "It is violent, blustering, turbulently melodramatic: just the kind of acting that Emily Brontë would have wanted for her Heathcliff."[7]
