| | Biography for William Wyler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) |
 | | Goldwyn prevailed, as he did later with the ending of "Wuthering Heights." After Wyler had finished principal photography on the film, Goldwyn demanded a new ending featuring the ghosts of Heathcliff and Cathy reunited and walking away towards what the audience would assume is heaven and an eternity of conjoined bliss. |
 | | Toland shot seven of the eight films that Wyler directed for Goldwyn: "These Three," "Come and Get It" (1936), "Dead End," "Wuthering Heights" (for which Toland won his only Academy Award), "The Westerner" (1940), "The Little Foxes" and "The Best Years of Our Lives" (1946). |
 | | As the photography of Wyler's films was used to serve the story and create mood rather than call attention to itself, Toland was later mistakenly given credit for creating deep-focus cinematography along with another great director, Orson Welles, in "Citizen Kane" (1941),. |
