Madam D Certainly not the best version of Jane Eyre, but Scott & York do a good job acting in this film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/13/25 Full Review Steve D Despite the cast there are better versions. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Audience Member A good version of Jane Eyre! George C. Scott played the tortured soul of Mr Rochester very well, his character is fascinating and we can see why Jane becomes fascinated by him. His chemistry with Susannah York is fantastic! The movie has, gorgeous scenery of the English countryside and the brooding moors, and fantastic background music. If you like the story and have the opportunity...by all means watch this great version of a classic novel. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Truncated version of the story that is strengthened by the ability of the leads. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was so awesome! I so want to see it again! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member good a litle short cuts off the first part of story but, well acted. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
