DownGoesFrazier Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Since the film is on the TCM schedule again, this may be an appropriate time to ask, Is it Wuthering ( the "u" as in "duck") or Wuthering (the "u" as in "push"). The latter is the way that RO pronounces it. I always thought that the former was correct. Edited by: finance on Nov 1, 2012 10:54 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Apparently, nobody gives a **** HOW Wuthering is pronounced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clore Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I can still recall the radio spots for the Genesis album "Wind and Wuthering" and they pronounced it with the "u" as in "duck." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 In that case, did RO mispronounce 'Wuthering"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try as I might, I simply can't get into that film. I've seen it numerous times through the years, but it just bores the heck outta me as I don't care for either Cathy or Heathcliff. Here you'll see a little speaker icon right before the definition of "wuther" which should confirm the pronunciation for you: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wuthering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Merle did a number of comedies, and her dying near the beginning of the film wouldn't have generated many belly laughs, except perhaps from sprocket man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For over 40 years I've been trying to discover what others see in this film, it just leaves me cold. I just don't sense the passion that these characters are supposed to have.

Hibi Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 ****! I've always had a bone to pick with the film as it only portrays half the novel........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
