Ok, don't blame me, blame TV Spielfilm, the TV magazine I got this 'info'
from. They write "[...] Heathcliff (L. Olivier) [...] Cathy (V. Leigh) [...]",
have a picture subtitled "Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh", and list the
main actors as "Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon". I didn't know better as
to decide that the majority has to win. Hoerzu (another TV magazine) has
it better: no V. Leigh in it...
