**"I have found the meaning, dear Emily. Goodbye, my dear one."** *୨ৎ⊹ ࣪ ˖ .ᐟ𓂃࣪˖ With the new **Wurthering Heights** movie release, I was reminded to watch this **Warner Bros**. Picture from **[1946](https://boxd.it/FBTio)**, all about the ***Brontë*** family. Starring two very strong leading ladies that kinda save the whole film in itself, ***Ida Lupino*** and ***Olivia de Havilland***. Supposedly ***Joan Fontaine*** was meant to play along side her sister ***Olivia*** as ***Emily Brontë***, although due to their 'feuding' they didn't go through with that... but I honestly would've loved to have seen that played out, actual sisters playing sisters– I think that maybe would've gave this movie a more relatable feel rather than the odd wooden moments that were had. But I do find it funny that in the end ***Joan Fontaine*** played ***Jane Eryre*** and ***Olivia de Havilland*** played the author (In seperate pictures obviously), and that's about the closest they've ever got to having some sort of relation publicly... Also– this is movie **39/51** of watching every movie ***Olivia de Havilland*** did during her massive critically aclaimed career. Here's a top five favourites of hers that I feel you should watch if you're wanting to get into ***Olivia's*** filmography as much as I did: **1. The Strawberry Blonde 2. The Snake Pit 3. The Heiress 4. It's Love I'm After 5. To Each His Own**
