    How frightfully, delightfully, and utterly batty! When one speaks to art, and artists, one often speaks, as much, to oneself.

    She was only 43 when this was made and lived until 2006. Another fascinating clip.

    Beautiful words. Truly you can tell the inspiration for Wuthering Heights be seeing this. Wow.

    Great footage and I love her very proper English accent, very Brief Encounter 😊
    I love Haworth, it's still a place where time seems to slow and you can just wonder it's little roads and pathways and imagine seeing any one of the Bronte sisters passing by. Such an atmospheric place especially around the old church. I live a little over an hour away from Haworth.

      Your description of Hawarth, is beautifully describes of romantic old trees hogging over lanes, leading to churches and graveyards. Like Ireland where once I lived as a boy. Sadly, like many towns and villages, nothing stays mould in time.

      It's a posh Scottish accent actually.😊

    Been fascinated by the Brontë sisters since reading Jane Eyre at school. Went to pay homage to Haworth and the Brontë cottage in my 20s as well as a very windswept walk on the moors! Highly recommend a trip there!

    Beautiful place. Beautiful people.

    That's E. J. Moeran's symphony in the background! The second movement (Lento) to be exact.
    I listened to that piece years ago when I went on mountain bike trips. The surrounding hills were all flooded with intolerable, searing sunshine, and to this day the symphony has for me the cool aroma of a mountain brook, suffused with the fragrance of the pine forest.

      Spark is one of my favorite writers, but, apparently, she was a difficult woman concerning her friends, etc.

    This film was made the same year as The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie was published.

    Spoke like the Queen to say she was from Scotland - great writer though - cute and kinda hot too - not to take away from her talent - just been reading her biography which is not unlike my own childhood but earlier of course -.

    She's really picked up the local accent in her time there 😂

      That is not a local accent, it's the RP accent of the time.

      That's actually an upmarket Scottish accent.😁
