E.H. Gooding Buffalo News Jun 11, 2022
Though it be heresy to say it in the face of Bronte worshippers, the suspicion remains that had the material been treated a shade less reverently, more life might have been breathed into the film. Go to Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine Oct 4, 2019
Everything that went to make the novel dramatic and exciting - Jane's high-spirited independence, Mr. Rochester's magnificent bad manners and the mad Mrs. Rochester's awful antics at midnight - has been prettily ironed out. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dec 18, 2014 This was not a good adaption. It was very abrupt and they made a lot of poor changes from the book. See more Apr 26, 2013 The first of many sound adaptations of the famous Charlotte Bronte novel about an orphan girl who grows up to become a governess and falls in love with the master of the house. The film is short and obviously rushed; the screenplay is poor and the pace makes the whole thing feel unnatural. However, Clive and Bruce are two good leads. See more Nov 26, 2012 first sound version of this but i like the orson welles version best See more Aug 10, 2010 This is the best version of Jane Eyre ever made. See more Mar 28, 2009 watch it and u will get it, no words to explain. See more Jul 27, 2008 The newer version was better. See more Read all reviews
