E.H. Gooding Buffalo News 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. Jun 11, 2022 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine 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.

Audience Member This was not a good adaption. It was very abrupt and they made a lot of poor changes from the book. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/15 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member first sound version of this but i like the orson welles version best Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the best version of Jane Eyre ever made. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member watch it and u will get it, no words to explain. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member The newer version was better.
