Made two years after Citizen Kane, this 1943 version of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre sure looks like star Orson Welles muscled his way behind the camera much of the time. (In fact, costar Joan Fontaine--who plays the title character--has maintained that Welles methodically did just that every day on the set.) Not that the film's official director was a hack: Robert Stevenson, who later had a busy career at Disney making numerous live-action hits for the studio, such as Mary Poppins, gets the credit. But there's no mistaking Welles's masterful hand in the film's bold and creative look, and there's no getting away from his enigmatic charisma as Rochester, the widower who takes in Jane as a governess to his daughter. An engrossing, gorgeous film, there's even a small role for Elizabeth Taylor at the beginning as Jane's unlucky, doomed friend at a cruel boarding school. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Classic Favorite
This is an old classic that I have been wanting for a long time. Actors are very well suited for their parts, although Fontaine is a little lacking in hers, however, this is her style in most of her films.Thanks for chance to own it and watch it when I can.

"Do you think I could stay here to become nothing to you?" -- Jane to Edward
This 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 ... Read More
Rating: - Still Fabulous After All These Years
The best production ever done of the classic Bronte novel. The epitomy of English Gothic Romance.
Rating: - Jane Eyre
If you ever want a wonderful heart warming movie with great feeling and acting please watch this movie. It has drama and warmth, it is one of those movies you cannot stop watching. I have enjoyed this movie many times over the years and I shall continue to do so with my new DVD.
Rating:  - Brontë Told in Shadow and Light
It's hard to review a 97 minute movie based on a 400 page, densely threaded novel. There simply isn't enough time to hit all the key points in the story. But what they did here was commendable, if incomplete.
Of the four big budget productions I've seen ('44, '96, '97, '06), this one comes closest to capturing the story's dark tone. This is in no small part due to George Barne's magnificent black and white photography and lighting, producing sharp contrasts of shadow and light. I think this ... Read More
