I appreciate the direction by Robert Stevenson more all the time . Great film This like hearing the two sides of Charlotte Bronte's personality speaking to each. Other film versions of the novel that cut short this part are missing an opportunity .
This version is consistent in its melodrama. The acting in all the roles is so very good. Totally different but also excellent is the 1983 BBC version.
Peggy Ann Garner is extraordinary, the perfect, abused, lost little Jane Eyre. Her performance is overshadowed by Elizabeth Taylor's beauty. I think commenters who ignore Jane have not read the original novel. They should. Peggy Garner won an youth Oscar for her fine acting in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
Elizabeth Taylor's omission in the credits was apparently accidental. The film was already produced and distributed when they realized their mistake. 20th Century Fox, the creator of the film apologized to young Elizabeth for the error, but there's no mistaking that beautiful face in the finished movie.
No wonder this is so good. The screenplay was done by Aldous Huxley, Robert Stevenson (the director) and John Houseman. Huxley lived in L.A. from 1937 until his death in 1963.
I read that Elizabeth Taylor could not get any roles and was told her eyes were "too old" and then this role came along, as Helen Burns. This is my all time favorite Jane Eyre film. I made a kitschy one on my RUclips channel (just for fun) if anyone wants to see it, it's called JANE EYRE: SCENES FROM MY LIFE
@rebe1angel Have you read the Tenant of Wildfel Hall? Written by Anne. She is, I guess, the least famous of the Brontë sisters, but an equally talented writer. Wildfell Hall is also a great piece of story telling, however less in the style of the romantic period, and more naturalistic in the description of the relationship between men and women of the day.
I don't understand why the same movie gets taken off if it's in English, but, left on if it's in another language. I'm sure it has to do with copywriting, I just don't know what it is.
@sibunafan331 - I hate Brocklehurst too; audiences aren't supposed to like him, especially with the way he mistreats the pupils of Lowood at every turn (although all the movie adaptations have him being far more of a tyrannical presence than in the novel). And also in the novel, an offhandedly-mentioned girl is "guilty" of having naturally curly hair, whereas the "vain" curly-haired girl in the movies is always Helen (which is why Jane is punished for protesting over Helen's hair getting cut).
Don't like Orson Welles in this role, should've been done by Laurence Olivier!! Joan Fontaine's narration is so nice to listen to, wonderful voice and spoken beautifully!! Margaret O'Brien was so young but did a great job in this movie!!!
Definitely this movie sows the seed of destruction of Christianity.. Moving forward 71 years down followers of Christ getting fewer and fewer , " The Great Fall away" have long started... This movie portray the injustice and harsh discipline in Christian schools.

Was it righteous for their reverend mother to kidnapped over reverend Father by our Pope Francis idea by Pope innocent to block paying our Soros'bills over their Benji's Chicken ranch cooperative ? Was it altruistism? What about our trust allowances by true religion by CeCe rider's our contextual scriptures. The rider faithful and true to be acknowledged by fundamental theorem
how can anyone stand this version?? highly overrated, from what I can see. the style is so hokey. Compare it to the Wuthering Heights with Ralph Fiennes and you will see what I mean.

The image of the 2 little girls, carrying irons in the rain, with signs to mock them - stunned and horrified me. I have never forgotten.
out of all the movies of jane eyre this is far the best.

Her performance was overshadowed by Elizabeth Taylor's beauty? That is ridiculous. Peggy Ann Garner overshadowed Elizabeth.
Of course, it's a matter of opinion, but I agree with you, Susan.
@Lea-Anne She was a very good child actress.. Elizabeth's beauty helped make her a star into adulthood.
Omg Elizabeth Taylor is absolutely stunning!
Love it so does my 22 year old son- we watch it together when hes home eating sweets!!
My favourite version .
please put the whole thing on youtube! I want to see this one SOO badly!!
a great classic movie
this is the best version

A good book and a great movie.
Thanks you.
This is version I utterly love !!! Thx for posting !!

Love it! It's a classic;)
There is no way, you can remake a classic. Only 1 Fontaine, and only 1 Wells..new actors lose all signs of mystery, and talent.
for me among other versions, this one effectively depicts the book of charlotte bronte
Captivating
I have tried to see the 1997 version...and it was really "Mission:Impossible" for me.
it i my fav. and best book have i brought
For the records who were their rider faithful and true by their corralling references
omg.. i love helen's hair. its so pretty.
¡Novela sensacional!
This film is shown regularly on Film 4 via Freeview and others various ways, often at 11 am, it's on on Monday 20th February at 11:00 on Film 4.

Good job girls
he was so incredibly EVIL.
why there's not the entire film in youtube?? thre's only one in spanish!
Can anyone tell me where I can find "Middle of the Night" with Kim Novak?
helen is sooo pretty
7:08 try looking at Elizabeth eyes...even in a black-and-white picture her eyes were fascinating
@Astughentsa, old black & White films with a great cast & staff often got the story not quite right but deliver it most powerfully at least.
Merveilleuse et si jeune Elizabeth Taylor !
من جد روعه
Elizabeth Taylor is stunning.
Although she breifly appears in this movie she is not credited in this movie at all.Elizabeth Taylor did a good job here.
@4evajscgrl Yes it's the same girl: Peggy Ann Garner.
melhor versão de Jane Eyre.
Elizabeth Taylor está linda
Hoy falleció Liz Taylor y si esta no fue su primera película estoy cerca pues no figura ni siquiera en los créditos originales. QEPD

4:00 so sad that Charlotte's sister died there!
I don't understand why the same movie gets taken off if it's in English, but, left on if it's in another language. I'm sure it has to do with copywriting, I just don't know what it is.
It's strange that Elizabeth Taylor was not in the credits
Liz Taylor at 11yrs old.
When are these movie moguls going to learn that you CANNOT remake a classic. The new one is terrible. There was one Fontaine, and one Wells. Please!

@TCall2004 LOL Yeah...he would torture all of them.
@Astughentsa not the best, but very good compare to the movie industry at that time
Elizabeth Taylor's hair to see over beau regards relay Maureen upset wonderingly ?
The adaptation's nothing spectacular... but the music's really nice!
i hate the headmaster it seems like he never had a childhood
she looks like anna paquin.
good going, now Helen is going to fucking DIE.
Ilona Keller's placards illiad and oddessey by what we're by Antigone's
Liz Taylor has a woman;s head on a child's body. Its strange.
omg elizabeth taylor lol

Ah, the misery of a child that gets sent to a Christian run “school”…
