Jane Eyre (7-Apr-1944)

Director: Robert Stevenson

Writers: Aldous Huxley; Robert Stevenson; John Houseman

From novel: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontė

Music: Bernard Herrmann

Producer: William Goetz

Keywords: Romantic Drama

The orphaned Jane Eyre, after life at an abusive boarding school for a decade, is hired as governess for young Adele, ward of the wealthy but largely absent Edward Rochester. Exceptionally good telling of the Charlotte Brontė's once-scandalous novel, magnificently cinematography, and Orson Welles perfectly suited as the anguished and brooding Rochester.
