Charlotte Bronte's gothic heroine (Virginia Bruce) loves her employer (Colin Clive), who keeps a dark secret hidden from her.

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.

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.

This was not a good adaption. It was very abrupt and they made a lot of poor changes from the book.

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.
