Movie Reviews of Jane Eyre (1934)
Movie Review: DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
Given that this movie was made in 1934 it was well done for that time period. Of course I like the more updated versions much more.Movie Review: Worst version I've seen!
Summary: 1 Stars
I love old films and the story of Jane Eyre, so I bought this DVD thinking I couldn't miss. Wrong! This is a horrible adaptation, not at all true to the book. The characters are completely changed: Jane is described as "the pretty governess," and engages in perky verbal sparring with a dashingly handsome and charming Rochester. In both the book and all other film adaptations I've seen, Jane is rather plain and humble, and Rochester is moody and NOT supposed to be handsome. Aside from the terrible adaptation from book to script, and the bad acting, the movie print itself used to master the DVD was in poor shape, and NOT restored. The resulting DVD is of annoyingly poor quality. This particular movie version is just plain bad, both story and technical quality. Try the versions with George C. Scott or William Hurt instead; they're very good. The Ciaran Hinds version is passable, though in his version Rochester comes off as just plain mean.
