A girl with no friends falls in love with the first single man she meets.

1.5/4 (Meh).

Everything that's wrong with the book is magnified, and everything good is minimized. But also, it's a sloppy mess of a movie. ( )

This is a classic adaptation of a classic book. When I saw this as a child, I hadn't read the book, so no doubt part of why I love it is early imprinting--despite a rather pallid adult Jane--though a good child Jane. But it has the great Orson Welles as Rochester (and some claim he shaped things behind the camera as well) and a really fine script co-written by Aldous Huxley of Brave New World fame. This is a very dark, very gothic in feel version of Jane Eyre among the ones I've seen. ( )

Jane comes to Thornfield Hall as a governess to the young ward of Edward Rochester. Denied love all her life, Jane can't help but be attracted to the intelligent, vibrant, energetic Mr. Rochester, a man twice her age. But just when Mr. Rochester seems to be returning the attention, he invites the beautiful and wealthy Blanche Ingram and her party to stay at his estates. Meanwhile, the secret of Thornfield Hall could ruin all their chances for happiness.
