- In 1829, nine-year-old orphan Jane Eyre (Peggy Ann Garner) lives at the English estate of her cruel aunt, Mrs. Reed (Agnes Moorehead), who favors her spoiled son, John (Ronald Harris).
Mrs. Reed sends Jane to Lowood Institution, an austere boarding school for orphans, run by sadistic Henry Brocklehurst (Henry Daniell). Jane enjoys learning, and her friendship with Helen Burns (Elizabeth Taylor), a kindhearted pupil. Jane also appreciates the attention of Dr. Rivers (John Sutton).
One day, Brocklehurst cuts off Helen's curly hair, then orders her and Jane to march in the rain as punishment for their "vanity" and "rebelliousness." The harsh experience proves fatal for Helen, and Jane loses her gentle friend.
In 1839, Brocklehurst offers Jane (Joan Fontaine) a teaching job, but she is determined to escape Lowood. After placing an ad seeking a position as a governess, Jane travels to a country estate known as Thornfield, where she is met by Mrs. Fairfax (Edith Barrett), the housekeeper. Jane's pupil is a French girl named Adele Varens (Margaret O'Brien), the ward of Thornfield's absent master, Edward Rochester (Orson Welles).
At night, Jane sees smoke coming from Rochester's bedroom. Jane awakens Rochester before he is consumed by the fire, and he allows her to assume that the blaze was set by Grace Poole (Ethel Griffies), a supposedly unstable seamstress living in a little-used wing of the mansion. The next morning, Rochester leaves for a house party at the home of Blanche Ingraham (Hillary Brooke).
The winter passes without word from Rochester, until one day, the household learns that he is to arrive with Blanche and other guests. Much to Jane's dismay, Mrs. Fairfax insinuates that Blanche will soon become Rochester's wife. Jane grows more troubled upon meeting the beautiful, haughty Blanche, but both she and Rochester feel their bond grow stronger when they talk. Their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of Mr. Mason (John Abbott ), of Spanish Town.
Rochester accuses Blanche of caring more for his money than for him, and she leaves with her family and the other guests. Rochester then tests Jane by informing her that he has found another position for her, and when she finally confesses her love for him, he passionately proposes.
Adele is thrilled that Jane is to be her new mother, but Mason stops the wedding ceremony by announcing that Rochester is already married to Mason's sister Bertha. Rochester then leads the wedding party to Thornfield and shows them Bertha, who is violently insane.
With nowhere else to go, Jane returns to Mrs. Reed, who has fallen ill, and nurses her until her death.
One night, Bertha sets the Thornfield mansion on fire and Rochester is seriously injured.
Finally, Rochester enters the ruins of the mansion. Jane realizes that he is blind, and her passion convinces him that she feels more for him than mere pity.
A 1943 American Black & White drama film directed by Robert Stevenson, produced by Kenneth Macgowan and Orson Welles (uncredited), screenplay by John Houseman, Aldous Huxley and Robert Stevenson, based on Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel of the same name, cinematography by George Barnes, starring Orson Welles, Joan Fontaine, Margaret O'Brien, Peggy Ann Garner, John Sutton, Sara Allgood, Henry Daniell, Agnes Moorehead, Aubrey Mather, Edith Barrett, Barbara Everest, Hillary Brooke, Ethel Griffies, Eily Malyon, Ivan Simpson, Erskine Sanford, John Abbott, Elizabeth Taylor, and Mae Marsh. Released by 20th Century Fox.
Dame Elizabeth Taylor's role as Helen Burns was uncredited.
The musical score was composed and conducted by Bernard Herrmann.
David O. Selznick hired John Houseman in February 1941 while Houseman was directing Philip Barry's play "Liberty Bell". Houseman's first assignment for the producer was writing this. Aldous Huxley also contributed to the screenplay, rendering the character of Mrs. Rochester unseen, assuring that she would be more menacing, and circumventing British censorship regulations on the depiction of madness. Other screenplay contributors include DeWitt Bodeen, and playwright Keith Winter.
In early December 1942, Selznick wrote Goetz that he and Welles agreed on the importance of casting character actors who were new to motion pictures. He offered to be present at a casting meeting, and asked that Welles be there, as well-"because I know few people in the history of the business who have shown such a talent for exact casting, and for digging up new people." Mercury Theatre players from stage and radio who appear in Jane Eyre include Agnes Moorehead, Erskine Sanford, Eustace Wyatt, and Edith Barrett; but the character roles generally went to familiar Hollywood performers, many of them with British stage credits.
Bosley Crowther of The New York Times, called this a "moody" film, "grimly fascinating in its own right," with "continuous vitality as a romantic horror tale" in which Welles's "ferocious performance" was "interesting to observe.

Orson Welles, what a voice, very soothing. Like Alan Rickman.☺️
May these 2 lovely men rest in Peace.❤
Love Alan rickman.
Roger that. R.I.P.
Да, есть некоторое сходство в их голосах. Голос Орсона просто завораживает. Впрочем, его внешность здесь тоже неотразима.
I love this movie :-) One of the first books I ever read cover to cover was Jane Eyre from the local library. One of my favorite versions.
Fond memories. Welcome.
Joan Fontaine very underrated actress, should have deserved more
She was excellent in Daphne De Maurier’s Rebecca with Laurence Olivier 🇬🇧
She won an Oscar for best actress so her talent was recognized
Fun fact. Joan Fontaine is the only actress to have won an Oscar for acting in a Hitchcock film, having won an Academy Award for her role in "Suspicion" (1941).
Thanks, it's very hard to beat this original Black and White version. I've watched just about all of them....... The story is dark, so the tone is... Jane was ahead of her time, and so was Bronte. Independent women.
Pure disaster for humanity of course.
Jane was of her time, not ahead.
@@CplArvinBethe she believed people should look at each other as equal, she was certainly ahead of her time even as a characted in book
उत्कृष्ट फिल्मांकन है सहमत
बहुत सुंदर बनी है दिल को छू लेती है
Love the cinematography! The scenic matte paintings, the dark candle lit lighting of the manor house, and the performances all around making this my favorite telling of this Charlotte Brontë's novel.
Glad you enjoyed it. Welcome.
this is by far the best version.
Thanks for the visit!
First time I've seen "Jane Eyre" and I must say,it is a very well acted film,and the story line is quite profound.Thank you,for showing it.

😮 Be sure to see the Timothy Dalton version!!! My absolute favourite!😊
The way he says "this...Syngin Rrrrivers!"
and "Jane, tell me, were there only women where you were?"😊
Or, much before those scenes, "You shall walk up the pyramids of Egypt!"😁🌹
Welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
OMG, what a shock to see a young Elizabeth Taylor!
Right?! Thanks for watching.
@DonaldPBorchersOG You're welcome, thanks muchly for the upload. 💜✌ from 🇨🇦
@@AniMerDol Welcome.
Фильм старый и история известная, но посмотрела с большим удовольствием. Мечта женщин, чтобы так любили!💐
Welcome. I post romantic dramas here: ruclips.net/p/PLk3CReZFhoBdqj5NcALc1WKy8IjjghC-j
There have been many dramatizations of Jane Eyre, and this is the very best! Orson was the definitive Mr Rochester just as Joan was the perfect Jane. All other dramatizations has one of the other miscast. Love this movie! (And the book is even better.)
Glad you enjoyed it. Welcome.
My favourite version. Haunting and dark.
Roger that. Welcome.
Wow, it has baby Elizabeth Taylor. The film has depicted the novel so well.
Roger that. Welcome.
Wonderful movie ❤
Love these old movies 😊
Thank you soo much for uploading this movie 🙏
Welcome. I post 1940s movies here: ruclips.net/p/PLk3CReZFhoBeBy_sp9bjwIeMvW_JZ57B_
The book has profound truths missing from the movie. It's wonderful to read it while visualizing these portrayals.
Roger that. Thanks for watching.
The first paragraph sounds like our times now!
Cruel, cruel, cruel. As cold as charity.
I hear you. Thanks for the visit!
Эта версия входит в число моих самых любимых. Великолепный подбор актёров. Почти все понравились, отлично играют. А главные роли просто безупречно сыграны. Хотя мистер Рочестер здесь нереально красив, впрочем и Джейн очень красива, хоть её и попытались сделать более простой и скромной, но игра их настолько безупречна, что невозможно не поверить, что это настоящие Рочестер и Джейн, как в книге. Конечно, девочка, сыгравшая Джейн в детстве тоже отлично справилась со своей ролью. Не стану перечислять всех, кто мне понравился здесь ещё, потому что почти все прекрасно сыграли свои роли.
I absolutely love this version ❤❤ it got me hooked to the book ,
Glad you enjoyed it. Welcome.
Ive seen this movie more than a dozen times. Still love it.
Glad you like it. Welcome.
I love Jane Eyre and this old film so much🥰

Elizabeth Taylor is just so heartbreakingly lovely...
E dove sarebbe la Taylor?. Grazie
I forgot she was in the movie. She plays Helen @@ABC-jd9ep
Roger that. Welcome.
Extraordinarily outstandingly superbly casted : ' Jane Eyre' ' movie.. Loved ever minute so totally engaging . Thankyou for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it. Welcome.
Exceptional film, nu-l pot uita chiar dupa ce am vizionat multe alte filme dupa acest roman, doar ca Joan este mult prea frumoasa iar pe Orson Welles il asociez cu Otello si, in scena finala, când ii mângâia gâtul, ma gândeam la Desdemona.
Орсон здесь тоже слишком красив, на мой взгляд... вообще, не понимаю, о каком уродстве он говорил, ведь он просто неотразим.
Thanks for sharing.
This is my absolute favorite...
I've seen at least six different adaptations!...
Wow! That's a lot. Thanks for watching.
Such an excellent film and book
Glad you enjoyed it. Welcome.
Wow did she hit the nail on the head with that first paragraph!
Roger that. Welcome.
@@DonaldPBorchersOG Beautifully written, thanks for uploading.
The open book and voice over are not original, but a new script for setting the tone.
Always for decades my favourite version thank you 🇬🇧
Glad you liked it. Welcome.
Thank you for this good movie
Welcome. Thanks for watching.
Elizabeth Taylor's first film where she played Helen. She was uncredited. Her first film!! Peggy Ann Garner played the role of a younger Jane. Cindy 🎥
Elizabeth Taylor’s first film was actually a year before from Universal,”There’s one Born every minute “. I not sure the film even exists,for its never shown.
When i saw Elizabeth, I could not believe it as I did not read the credit
She was uncredited,and Universal dropped her some time later.
Thanks for watching. For the record, this was Elizabeth Taylor's third appearance on screen.
Absolutely fantastic!!! Thank you so much for this...
Glad you enjoyed it!
My favourite film version of this book. Orson was really good - as usual.
Glad you like it. Welcome.
This is high on my favourite movies list.
Glad you like it. Welcome.
I recall in 7th or 8th grade at Parochial school, some 50+ years ago, Jane Eyre was all the rage among my female classmates! Don't know if the Priests/Nuns approved or encouraged, but they did not disapprove to my knowledge!
If this movie is an accurate portrayal of Charlotte Bronte's book, I find it quite amazing that it was so well liked...! Dark is an understatement! Mr Welles delivery of extended passages was excellent! Ms Fontaine's portrayal of Jane conveyed so perfectly the waves of emotion!
As a male, I enjoyed this immensely!
Thank you, Donald P
Borchers for this very good post!
Thanks for sharing. Welcome. I appreciate your support.
Thank you so much this is my favorite version of Jane Erye just like his big and black the last and best version thank you

Ho già visto parecchie versioni di Jane Eyre,forse questa mi manca, ne approfitto
Enjoy! Thanks for the visit!
Версий Джейн Эйр на самом деле очень-очень много. Для меня эта версия одна из самых любимых.
Não me canso de assistir este filme várias vezes. Como o amor puro é lindo.
A beautiful sentiment. Welcome.
I will look for it. Thank you.
👍
Thank you for Audio 😊
You're welcome 😊
Interesting to see the actor Guy Pearce started out in the movie industry as a makeup artist.
Uh, no. Guy Pearce was born on December 14, 1893 in Cheltenham, England, UK. He is known for "Laura" (1944), "Lifeboat" (1944) and "How Green Was My Valley" (1941). He died in May 1979 in the USA.
Guy Edward Pearce (born October 5, 1967) is an Australian actor.
I can now understand why so many people became upset when mr.wells performed in ""the war of the worlds".
Roger that. Welcome.
hmm, interesting to see that no other than Aldous Huxley wrote the screenplay.
Roger that. Welcome.
Very different. I like Adele. 1983 is still my favorite but Tim Dalton is too handsome.😎😘
Thanks for sharing. Welcome.
Best version ever
Glad you like it. Welcome.
I can't believe I thought Orson Welles was ugly. After watching this movie I feel butterflies in my stomach.
Btw that kiss at the end was scary 😂 I don't want to talk about the differences with the book, but Jane would have never ever written to Mr Brockenhurst.
Nonetheless it was a nice watch ❤
Thanks for sharing. Welcome.
He was charismatic and very attractive in my view and like you, had some flutterings in my tummy.
Орсон здесь это просто образец мужской красоты. А если ещё и учесть голос, то невозможно устоять перед его очарованием.
This must be the first time "Jane Eyre" made it to the screen. Right? I think I have watched every other version... 📽 🎬
In 1910, the first of eight silent movies was made, based on the book.
So dramatic and satisfying!
Glad you like it. Welcome.
The wicked aunt went on to play Samantha’s mother, Endora, in the 60’s hit comedy ‘Bewitched’.
Nie przypuszczałam,że Orson Welles był taki przystojny 🌹
Lúc còn trē trung thì ai ai cūng có nét quyên rū rôi, đó là điêu tu nhiên thôi!

54:34a 54:40
Он просто не реально красив здесь.
Fraiser's character on the Sitcom, 'Frasier' reminds me of Orsen Well's, but personalities are very different , lol . Must be their voices similar .
No matter how many times I've watched this movie, I never get it tired of it. 😊
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I always cry when I saw the part where Jane and her friend Helen were punished to walk in the rain. Elizabeth Taylor was So beautiful and it hurts me to see her being punished with Jane.
Beautiful movie
Glad you like it. Welcome.
Brilliant !
Glad you like it. Welcome.
I WATCHED THIS MOVIE SO MANY TIMES I LOVE❤ IT
🤔Certainly an interesting variation from many of the Jayne Eyre versions. Particularly admire his final handling of the gold-digging "Blanche Ingram".
🤔🤷♀️
Thank you.
Welcome.
This movie is good but very, very dark. I prefer the 1997 version with Ciaran Hinds and Samantha Morton. Excellent acting. Watched it and then had to watch it again. Very enjoyable.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Welcome.
Never tire of watching this film.....
Glad you enjoy it. Welcome.
Thanks.....almost all version I watched already but this one is something..in black n white🩷

Qué mirada más penetrante tiene el actor, penetra hasta el fondo del alma, lee en ella, como en un libro abierto, mirada irresistible!!! 😮😔
I've never heard the classic story, Jane Eyre, until now ❣️
Welcome to the club.
I wonder if the child that jane eyre is in charge of is margaret o. Brian?
Yes it is Margaret O'Brien 😊
Great movie ! Very morbid in some ways . The irony of a person spouting Christ out of one side of his mouth and acting like the devil himself being mean to a little child is unacceptable . Sad to say , but it is still going on in this modern day . How any adult could be nasty to a child is beyond comprehension . Thanks for sharing this movie . Greetings from south east Alabama USA ☮️❤️

Szkoda, że nie ma lektora Pl,bo lubię takie stare kino 😢

Wonderful movie.......
Glad you like it. Welcome.
I now understand why George Lucas wanted Orson Welles to voice Darth Vader first , but it is also True that it would had been too familiar voice so in anyhow i m happy that James Earl Jones was chosen to voice Darth Vader in the end.
Que filme ,o melhor em preto e branco ,ainda bem que ela terminou c ele ,👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Should have mentioned Margaret O'Brien being in this movie.
Thank you for pointing it out! No wonder this version is so rich and subtle.
Good point. Thanks for the visit!
Здесь Орсона чуть не задушила жена (по роли), но он отомстит. Он задушит свою жену по роли в другом фильме :)
Quelles merveilleuses jeunes filles, le temps aurait dû s’arrêter !

C est possible de le voir en version francaise j adore ce film❤
Sorry, and thanks for the visit.
Read the book for the whole story - or watch a more recent adaptation at the very least (2006 series or 2011 movie). This is fun and has many great actors but it takes many liberties with the original IMO
I love how Orson Wells gets top billing in a movie titled Jane Eyre… about a woman named JANE EYRE!!! “Costarring Joan Fontaine as “Jane” “ AS IN JANE EYRE!! 🖕🏽🖕🏽
He was a bigger star than her, that's how billing works.
Where does it say ‘co star’ ?
Right?! Thanks for the visit!
@susiemorgan-stewart918 go back and watch the opening credits!!
@trinityj1 well, that is how it should work!! The person who’s the star of the movie, should get the top billing in the opening credits of the movie!!
Most inaccurate movie poster ever
Thanks for the visit!
Que filme lindo , muito grata

Is that endora from bewitched at the beginning
Yes, that's Agnes Moorehead. I can't remember her in any role where she didn't have a sour disposition 😊

Why all different versions has Adele as a child in England only teens have governess.
6:19 I just wish I could say that to all humans.
Thanks for the visit!
Orson wells doesn't look like Rochester, alas. Though he is a good actor.
Thanks for sharing your opinions.
Wah.... menarik film hitam putih ❤
Glad you like it.
Ma quante versioni fi sono di Jane Eire?
Tante.Tante.
There are more than 16 English-language film adaptations of Jane Eyre, and many more if you include other languages and adaptations that are loosely based on the story. Some of the notable film versions include:
1910: The first of eight silent film adaptations, starring Irma Taylor as Jane, Frank Hall Crane as Rochester, and Marie Eline as Young Jane
1943: An American adaptation released by 20th Century Fox
1956: A six-part BBC television series starring Stanley Baker and Daphne Slater
1970: A British film adaptation starring George C. Scott, Susannah York, and Ian Bannen
2006: A lavishly filmed BBC adaptation starring Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens
2011: A film adaptation starring Mia Wasikowska as Jane and Michael Fassbender as Rochester
The poster was way too provocative!! Have watched this version countless times!
Thanks for watching.
❤❤ gostei dessa versão mais do q outras

EN FRANÇAIS SVP MERCI MERCI 🌷🌺
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
👍
Not a fan of this version at all. A little surprising to me but then, I am not a big fan of Joan Fontaine.
Thanks for sharing your opinions.
@@DonaldPBorchersOG I like Joan, but I was disappointed to hear elsewhere that Orson Wells was not a big fan of her, nor her sister Olivia de Haviland.
She was more a better actress than her sister Olivia De Havilland
Have you ever seen The Heiress, Snake Pit, Lady in a Cage. Olivia was the better actor
Thanks for sharing your opinion. Welcome.
Una pena que no me entere de lo que dicen😢😢
Ah, yes, the classics...where every single relationship is toxic af but people romanticize the abuse. Disgusting.
much as I admire Joan Fontaine, why is she cast here as a teenage girl when she is clearly well into her thirties? It spoiled an otherwise masterful film.
