Jane Eyre (1943) [ Blu-Ray, Reg.A/B/C Import - Spain ]

I watched the '71 and 90s versions. I liked this one better because the acting and close ups drew me in. Strong chemistry between Fontaine and Wells! Plus, it had a touch of humor and bits of lightness that the others lacked. This version left Adele's mother to your imagination. In other words, by not showing her face, she seemed more realistic to me verses a bit corny as the others did show the mad woman's face. Bonus was seeing Elizabeth Taylor whom I did not know was in this film. Worth the watch. Compare for yourself!

Love classic movies decent relaxing, good plot good ending all round classic. Truly missing today in modeling writing!

I watch this once a year. It is my favorite Jane Eyre movie. I can’t even finish any other version because they don’t stand up to this classic. I ran across this quite accidentally about 15 years ago. It’s been one of my all-time favorite black and white movies ever since.

Just a very good black and white. Helps the effect drama of the times.

"Do you think I could stay here to become nothing to you?" -- Jane to EdwardThis magnificent Gothic drama based on Charlotte Bronte's famous novel is perfect in every way. Robert Stevenson, who helped Alduous Huxley and John Housman adapt Brnote's classic work to the screen, may have been credited with directing this brooding masterpiece but, once again, Orson Welles' signature is everywhere. George Barnes photographed Fontaine to beautiful advantage once again as he had in Hitchcock's Rebecca. And Bernard Herrmann's atmospheric score is one of his finest.Peggy Ann Garner, so wonderful as Francie in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, is equally memorable as the young Jane. She lives with Miss Reed (Agnes Moorehead) in an unhappy house where love has been replaced by cruelty. When she believes she is getting her freedom by being shuffled off to school, her dreams of the coming joys are shattered immediately upon discovering it is more of an institution. Young Jane will find one friend there in Helen, played nicely by an already captivating Elizabeth Taylor.The cruel hand of Henry Daniell will lead to tragedy for the friends, however, and for her remaining years there Jane can only dream of being loved by someone. Breaking away to work as a governess to the adorable Adele (Margaret O'Brien) at Thornfield, she is confronted by a man whose romantic misfortunes are much greater and far graver than anyone knows. Welles' performance as the erratic and moody Edward Rochester seems odd until we learn the secret in the tower which is at the heart of his torment and this film.Fontaine gives a winsome performance as Jane Eyre, whose heart has never felt the warmth of love from another. But she has the ability to love, and falls for the enigmatic Edward, whom she believes is out of her reach. The audience is slowly drawn in to Edward's world and that of Thornfield just as Jane, and therefor understands her resolve to stand by her employer despite his dark secret. It will finally come between them at the alter, however. Only when she returns to Thornfield in the aftermath of the inevitable does the stormy sky which has hung over her chance for happiness finally begin to clear.Jane Eyre is intense and mesmerizing, and perhaps the finest example of a brooding Gothic style drama ever put on celluloid. Joan Fontaine was always magnificent portraying characters such as Jane Eyre and, though there has been much debate over the years about Welles' approach to Edward, it proves to be memorable nonetheless. His uncredited work behind the camera turned this into a darkly romantic masterpiece. A must for film lovers.

This is a great classic film adaptation of the gothic romance novel. Had an otherworldly feel to it making it almost a fantasy film. Orson Welles was a fantastic actor. It’s a shame his auteur ambitions overshadowed some of his fine acting work. I only purchased this for the film but cliffs notes are always on point if you are a student or are looking for some help in studying literature.

And Orson Wells and Joan Fontain are brilliant. My very favorite movie ever.

This love story has become a classic legend! I am a true Jane Eyre fan, and I love this old black and white version, of this very old and special love story! This movie gives you a shorter and darker version of Jane Eyre, but I still loved it! I loved( Orson Welles) as Mr. Rochester, he was tall and handsome and brooding, and he was a very intense, and striking Edward Rochester! He had a nice deep voice! I also loved the beautiful( Joan Fontaine) as Jane Eyre, I thought her and Orson Welles, looked like a perfect couple together! I was also pleased with my DVD, it had a very clear picture! In the movie Mr. Rochester's home, and the outside scenery was dark, and it did not stand out, and but I liked it anyway! It all reminded me of a dark, spooky, haunted house! I heard that( Robert Stevenson )the director of the movie, may have chosen to keep Rochester's home and the grounds, and the movie itself dark and brooding, because when this movie was being made, the worst part of WWII, was going on.This movie is about a poor orphaned, little girl named Jane Eyre, who was sent to a school for orphan's, and all her young life, she has been picked on, and mistreated, and made to feel unwanted, and unloved! I loved the little girl who played Jane Eyre, and I was also pleasantly surprised, to see (Elizabeth Taylor) as the little girl who played Helen, Jane's friend at school. Jane grows up in this orphan school, and she becomes a young woman and wants a new life, so she advertises, and becomes a governess, to a little girl at Mr. Edward Rochester's estate. The housekeeper of Mr. Rochester's estate, says that Mr. Rochester is hardly ever at home, and stays gone for long periods of time. But when Edward meets Jane all that changes, and later Jane even, saves Edward's life from a fire, and a bond is formed between them, and they fall in love! Edward loves Jane so, and wants to marry her, but Jane feels like the beautiful Blanche Ingram, is the one who Edward really wants! But Edward wants Jane and will do anything to have her as his wife!But Edward is tormented by a hidden secret, that is soon found out, on Edward and Jane's wedding day! And Edward and Jane's life is changed forever!
