The stars of "The English Patient" are together in a stirring version of Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights," which makes its home video debut Tuesday.

Juliette Binoche is vivacious in this tale of a doomed love that entwines her. Ralph Fiennes, in his first major film role, is engagingly wicked in this version of the enduring British classic.

The 1992 film was shot on location in Yorkshire, England, adding the beauty and richness of the countryside to the enjoyment of the story of Cathy and Heathcliff's love.

The 107-minute film, priced for rental, did not have a theatrical release in the United States. It aired during the 1993 holiday season on cable television's TNT.

Binoche plays the role of Cathy Earnshaw with a passion as she develops an intense love for Heathcliff, an orphan her father takes in to tend the family stables. Fiennes's character develops equally intense feelings for her in the story of two generations of the Earnshaw and Linton families and how their lives and fortunes evolve from the complex web the doomed lovers weave.

Social standards of the day dictate that they be kept apart. Even after she tastes, and enjoys, the wealth and privilege that a relationship with her neighbor Edgar Linton can provide, she finds she cannot quiet her deep love for Heathcliff.
