 Rating:  - Jane Eyre ~ Worth the WaitI ordered this DVD from Amazon, and it arrived in about 2 days. Fast shipping is always appreciated. The DVD was in excellent condition, and the movie is just as wonderful as I remembered. I was very pleased with the whole transaction. Rating:  - Bad Edit?Maybe it's just because of the horrific DVD edit but I really don't understand why other reviewers are calling this a "gem". I had no idea why Jane would fall in love with this Rochester (Maybe because she's in her 40's?). Maybe all those scenes got cut out.

Maybe it's no longer copyright protected and in the public domain, so anyone with an old print can knock off some cheap copies and sell them at dollar stores and the like. Someone on an IMDB post says that ... Read More Rating:  - Proficient Version of JANE EYREGeorge C. Scott is wonderful as Rochester while Susannah York is capable and satisfactory in the title role yet she seems to lack some passion inward or outward. Jack Hawkins is brilliant as the evil headmaster yet 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 appropriately composed to augment the visuals. In all this is a well intentioned production but seems to lack some of ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
