Movie Reviews of Jane Eyre (1971)
Movie Review: Enthralling and Rich Production
Summary: 4 Stars
Delbert Mann's direction is somewhat pedestrian but the cast and visuals more than compensate his static approach. George C. Scott is wonderful as Rochester while Susannah York is capable and satisfactory in the title role (Jane Eyre) yet she seems to lack some passion either from an inward or outward perspective. Jack Hawkins is brilliant as the malevolent headmaster. However, the motivations for his hideous nature are left unexplored. This version of JANE EYRE is beautifully photographed and richly textured and very compelling. John William's score is very British and appropriately composed to augment the visuals. In all this is a well intentioned and splendid production but seems to lack some of the mysterious and enigmatic qualities of earlier versions. Yet it is still very enthralling.
Movie Review: Excellent version with beautiful music!
Summary: 4 Stars
Not the best version of the novel but certainly one of the best. Scott and York are superb and the music is easily one of the most beautiful and memorable made for any TV film. Scott brings an appropriate sense of danger and anger to the role while York makes Jane into a strong, thoughtful, intelligent woman instead of a mousy, passive servant. I highly recommend this version, especially to those whose imaginations are broader and deeper than those who can't handle production values that are not state-of-the-art.Movie Review: Great production, but low quality DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a fine story with great characters & solid acting. The scenery is terrific. But, the quality of the DVD is poor, as it seems to have been made from a poor quality film, with some skips in the dialogue, and a verticle line running through the DVD in certain spots. However, the inexpensive price somewhat offsets the poor quality of the DVD.Movie Review: Jane errored....
Summary: 3 Stars
As much as I am pleased I finally found George C. Scott's version of this novel/movie, I am so unhappy with the quality of editing and the horrendous film quality of this DVD! I find it hard to believe someone released it as it is! I saw the original version on TV years ago. I have never been able to forget it! The acting is first class, the music is to die for, (I have the LP for the sound track). But, after years of searching for a DVD of this TV movie, I was horror struck at how dark the scenes were, and how poor the audio was. It looks like someone has made multiple copies of it over and over so now you have little viewing quality left and then decided to sell it in this DVD form. Luckily, Scott and York still give brilliant performances in spite of how the DVD was produced. The movie's music theme still haunts me decades after first hearing it!Movie Review: absolutely great movie but poor dvd quality
Summary: 3 Stars
I saw this movie when i was a very young girl and still believe it is the best pairing of the characters of Mr. Rochester and Jane through the actors of George C. Scott and Susannah York!!! I have John Williams score on CD!! It is a very haunting film score!!! The DVD quality is very poor, colors are muddles and there are lines in certain parts of it!! However, I love the film and still have my VHS copy, so the 5.00 dollar price of the DVD is cheap and I do not feel like I have been cheated!! It would be wonderful if this fine film would have been better transferred to DVD for the people who have never seen this film!!!
