This is my favorite of all the Jane Eyres’. But of course it has George C Scott & Susanna York!
Fabulous
There's so much about this movie to love. But I must say, the kiss in the garden is swoon-worthy!! One of my top favorite scenes of all time. (Diehard Scott fan 👍🥰😘)
Me, too! I said "WOW! Now THAT'S a kiss!!"
Jane Eyre is my all time favorite story and I love to watch every version there is. Thank you for the upload!🥰
It's mine too. Have read the book countless times.
One of the first films I saw as a young lady of 14 on late night TV. I loved it then ( 1971 ) as I love it now.
Out of all the Jane Eyre versions I've seen, this probably has my favorite ending. It is beautiful, and the music is something out of a fairy-tale!!
You should read the Unabridged book. There's so much more to this story that I miss watching any of the film versions.
Music by John Williams who scores all of Spielberg's films. He has won more Oscar's than any other composer.
I so agree.
Yes, love the music by John Williams. But I also love the music in the Franco Zefirelli's film which to me is very moving. And Charlotte Gainsbourg looked the most like what I envision Jane Eyre to be.
I hope I can stand the cruelty of the movie to watch the rest of this version to see that beautiful end, but I’ve just about had it with the treatment of the girls @13:09! 😳 {That people thought (or still think )they were doing “God’s work, “ as such, blows my mind!}
Thank you for this film. George C. Scott was a terrific Scrooge, too.
The best version! And very beautiful music too! The last scene is still very touching to me❤
I actually owned the sound track album (record). I loved this movie when I first saw it as a teen. I'm 64 and I still do. Can't believe I've found it again. Thank you.
Same here; my first Jane Eyre. It's flawed, but I do love it. I stumbled across the soundtrack CD years ago; it's haunting. I've even heard it said that John Williams acknowledged that this is his favorite work.
Thank you for sharing in South korea 64years old female...lee .
me too!
Thank you, this version is the first one I saw after reading the novel as a kid and I have not seen it since. Really good cast, production and authentic locations, even though the issues with this version due to the original film's lost (lighting and choppy edits). Glad I read it first, it's a really good book. I enjoy all the film versions, some better than others, but it is a great romance, in the end.
Why is that whenever people talk about dramatizations of "Jane Eyre" they only talk about the more recent versions? They never mention the versions with people like George C. Scott or Orson Welles. And this one even has music by John Williams!
I love the great film with Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles!
@@cm9439 Music by Bernard Herrmann!
i am going to have to do some research on the filming locations because many of the interiors have the steel columns of a genuine ''dark satanic mill'.
@@cm9439 ?
Nah, just watch the 1997 version.
Can't believe It.. first Jane Eyre I ever saw. Amazing film, I was 13 . Always in my heart... George C Scott. Fell for him... Wonderful music throughout the film.... Thankyou so much... for this...Best version ever...❤️
Personally, i prefer the Franco Zefirelli 1996 version production-wise. The only thing I didn't like about it was William Hurt's rendition of Rochester. He was def. wrong for the role. George C. Scott's Rochester is among, if not, the best.
I fell for him too. I was in high school and I thought he was absolutely gorgeous. Still do
This is not the best quality copy of the film but it is tolerable enough to watch. This is among my favorite versions. The love theme is unforgettable and absolutely perfect for this story. I can play the melody in my head at will. It is John Williams of course. Every time I fall in love with a film score, he turns out to be the culprit. Scott does justice to Rochester, gruff, tender, and refined at all the right moments. Few can do a tortured soul quite so well. York is too beautiful a woman to be entirely convincing as plain Jane, but at least she has the acting chops to play the part.
Hi. As far I can remember, I think that is 7 versions of Jane Eyre. This one 70's is my fav, too. It's gothic and with a certain suspense. George C. Scott is the one of Mr Rochester.
My favorite book … in seventh grade… back in 1965 … Ages ago….♥️
I've been looking for this version for DECADES!!!! Thanks for posting!
Although George C. Scott and Susanna York are older than the characters in the book, their deep and skillful performances - and strong chemistry - are the best ever.
This version has the closest thing to the scene of Rochester dressed up as gypsy fortune teller; he does a kind of tarot spread of his own future for his guests, with regular playing cards that foreshadow the next events in his life including Thornfield burning down. Nice detail.
If a film ever deserves restoring it's this one. Yes, it's not perfect, and lacks many of the details of Charlotte Bronte's novel, but John Williams' score elevates this film to beyond the ordinary, and makes it unique amongst the pantheon of Jane Eyre versions; and, on that basis alone, I'd love to see this film restored to its former glory.
Does not need restoring I love how it is and looks, it looks like a real period piece. Best film version of Jane Eyre ever and I've seen most of them, the music alone deserved an Emmy, as this was a made for TV film.
I actually love all movies or series starring George C. Scott, except this adaptation of Jane Eyre and it’s one of my favourites
Music, actors - everything here is impeccable!❤️
I went to see this at the pictures when it was first released. Still my favourite adaptation of one of the best stories ever. Thank you for sharing
No one but no one could describe Susannah York as 'plain'. Beautiful more like.
I agree.
Nothing plain about Susannah that's for sure. I've always thought Janet Gainsborough's looks came closest to representing Charlotte Bronte's description of Jane Eyre, but that might just be my impression.
Tribute to George C. Scott. Thank you Johnny, Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦
“You cannot love just God alone!” ♥️
Perfect for Easter Saturday night. I love Ian Bannen in movies.
Me, too.
This adaptation was the very first to include the St. John Rivers' episode of Charlotte Bronte's source novel. Whatever its shortcomings -- and seeing it in terms of its age, I appreciate many of its attributes -- this film attempted a complete, if generalized arc of the original book. As happens with many literary classics, each era produces its own particular view of JANE EYRE. Thanks for posting!
You mean bastardization by revisionists.
@@gaylehudson7267 Yes. Some of them are wildly off track for their own self-centered purposes like the recent Netflix LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER, which in my opinion, completely misses the original point of the book
@@gregoryblaska1586 I never had patience to read much 19th century literature, but having read a lot of 20th century fiction, I see many of them being "reimagined", and it irritates me. The original author wrote those characters the way they wanted them.
I’m so glad they did include it! I’ve never read the book, though we had it at home. That last scene with St John gives way to one of the best lines I’ve ever heard: “You cannot love just God alone!”♥️🎯 A most powerful scene! 💥
I adore this version. George C. Scott is fantastic and the music is gorgeous!
I've read and seen this story many times, but the ending of this version made my eyes water.
what a pleasure seen a good story put to a good film
PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!
Personally, i prefer the Franco Zefirelli 1996 version production-wise. The only thing I didn't like about it was William Hurt's rendition of Rochester. He was def. wrong for the role.
😶🌫️
George c Scott was a truly amazing actor. So nuanced it is almost magical to watch.
This is the very best film ever made of Jane Eyre. I have watched this so many times over the years. You will not be disappointed.
I so agree, l love it all. The music, Scott, the tone of the film, the photography, Susannah, it's just perfect.
@@jaym8094SÍ SOBRE CON LOS 18 AÑOS QUE TIENE. SE PASARON TRES PUEBLOS EN LA EDAD DE LOS PROTAGONISTAS. HORRIBLE VERSIÓN.
Thank you for sharing this. I’m settling in on a Sunday afternoon to enjoy this. I haven’t seen this version.
Beautiful story! Thanks for sharing 🙏
Yes this version is the best I have ever seen. Both actors were wonderful. Terrific work they did.
This is not my all time favorite version but I still like this version immensely.💕
This was the first version I ever saw as a kid. I loved it.
George C. Scott is my fav as Mr Rochester.
Same ❤
It's amazing. I saw the old 1940's version with Orson Wells, Joan Fontaine and a short appearance by the very young Elizabeth Taylor. It was very dark and gloomy.
Thank you for sharing really enjoyed the movie
Love it! Thanks for sharing on RUclips.
Thank you R C for inviting us to view this treasure 💐🍀🍃🌹🌾🌿🌼
Thank you for uploading the film wìth the best aristocratic Mr Rochester
I read the book years ago- this is my favorite version of the novel! ❤
First time watched this movie back when I was in Shanghai late 70’s. It shaped my view on how to love and be loved. Still feel the same emotion after all those years.
To be faithful to the novel, Jane must be around twenty and emphatically plain, Rochester around forty and homely. This usually doesn't happen in the film versions.
No! Rochester is anything but homely! He is a projection of the Gothic hero figure, not Byronic in looks, but considered ugly by Diana and Mary when Jane draws him from memory. In temper he is masterful and irascible, in short, the perfect wish fulfilment of a young girl.
This version ties with Orson Wells and Joan Fontaine in the area of acting, but this version is my favorite for the story line. Both are brilliant. Many thanks for posting. ❤❤👍👍
Beautiful movie
I loved this movie.It's my favorite.
I have to admit this is not a bad version of Jane Eyre, not to fond of Susannah York as Jane. I cannot seem to get my head around Jane Eyre as having red hair. Thanks for the upload Retrospective.
The music is so beautiful
Beautiful film, thanks
Thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
The music is out of this world. Nothing else is actually...but nice anyway 😇
Wow, is this one a hard no. The only characters that were cast well are Pilot and Thornfield.
Scott: I can't act like a blind man, what should I do? Director: Just close your eyes, I guess. Scott: Nailed it!
Thank you🙏
George C Scott is a gorgeous Rochester, my favourite by far.
The final scene…. G. C. Scott eyes closed…
Napoleonic profile
Oh my days!@@sherryb6529
Gorgeous, and that voice... @@sherryb6529
Thanks for the movie.
Scott had the most incredible screen presence.
Are you the " Carlotta" from
"Now, Voyager?
He was a very masculine man and a great actor! Unfortuanetely he was a heavy drinker and did beat up his several wives! It is said that during the shooting of the film "The Bible" he started a passionate affair with Ava Gardener who was also a heavy drinker and they had a fight, he broke her shoulder and beat her so hard that they had to cover up the bruises in her face nearly every day ,so they could go on with the film! John Huston , the director, said nothing about it, he only made sure that Ava was able to work!
@@sabine4759 yes he was a difficult and mercurial man. However his last wife tamed him down. I cannot even imagine Colleen Dewhurst and Scott married as she is a tough cookie. What a battlefield. His last wife / they were very happy
@@MTknitter22 A difficult and mercurial man? It sounds like he was a violent abuser who should have been in jail.
Omg the music in this, definitely fairytale quality
This version lacks the warm relation that grew between Rochester and Jane, and his best qualities are also shadowed by a very unkind personality shown here. All versions have their lights and shadows, This one is not the exception, but it is my least favorite, because to love a man like that would be masochistic in the extreme.
This version was originally aired in theaters in the UK, but only on television here in the US. Although the DVD claims to be "digitally remastered," the quality is still, quite frankly, terrible. Apparently the story goes that the original film was lost somewhere along the line, so the video releases use the TV version. That is apparent with bad, cuts and jumps in scenes that pop up occasionally throughout the movie, most likely at points where there were commercial breaks.
I bought the DVD version of this movie on the recommendation of my wife who loved the version she saw aired in television. But the version put to DVD was a disaster. The lighting was poor to non-existent and entire scenes were simply excised. In one instance Adele is being put to bed, and we immediately cut to another scene - coming in in mid-sentence - where it's the next night. Characters such as Grace Poole and Mason are never even introduced, leaving one to wonder if they'd dozed off for a few minutes during the movie.
THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hour 48 minutes and was shot in North Yorkshire in northern England (Ripley Castle, Ripley; Pateley Bridge; Brimham Rocks; and Grinton)
Sadly, we do not have the full movie available, but this is still worth a watch for the performances.
My favorite book as a girl.... and then this versioncame out. Thanjs for the trip diwn memory lane.
That was interesting ... compacted as it is. I'm still deciding whether I like it, though, I do have appreciation for it - it will go into my Book VS Film folder to join all the other adaptations that have been made and are uploaded to RUclips.
I miss a lot from the book in this movie.
George C. Scott was so great actor in its past years. Rude and so handsome in the same way. Idem as a cop in The New Centurions (1972). He passed away in 1999.
love the music.
Not bad. A more realistic- looking older Mr. Rochester and quite a lovely Jane!
Still, I much prefer the Timothy Dalton version. So romantic!💕😁✝️🛐🌹
A flawed adaptation (most are) but the dialogues between Scott and York are remarkable, and memorable. And the ending gets me every time.
From South korea 🇰🇷 thank you for sharing !
The best version with the best soundtrack by John Williams, thank you, love it
Yes, love his music for this.
This version is THE best of all the Jane Eyre films, not one of! Once I've watched this, no other Jane Eyre adaptation is worth watching.
My goodness, Mr Rochester was a heavy sleeper, I love George C Scott.
Thanks 🙏
Loved it.
The first time I saw this movie was through a HALLMARK Special in the fall/winter of 1973. It was a Sunday evening on NBC. No one believes me, and I cannot find evidence that it was shown by HALLMARK. I fell in love with this version.
You're right, it was definitely a Hallmark movie "hall of fame" as they called it back then. Someone in my family recorded it on video and it has that inscription in the commercial breaks. (My guess is they videotaped it when it was re-run over the next few years after 1973.)
@@SheenaRea Thank you very much. 😉
I too remember that it was broadcast on Hallmark Hall of Fame.
@@prairiepalmetto9378 Thank You. 😊
@@prairiepalmetto9378 Thank you. 😊
This version is the best.
Nyree Dawn Porter, Irene in The Forsyte Saga
Thank you for posting, this version has its charm. However I’m not crazy about Rochester as he comes through too patronizing and doesn’t humble himself as he does in the book or in other screen adaptations. It almost feels like Jane forgets some of her self respect, which is naturally so precious , so fundamental to her character, as it clearly filters through in the novel and in other versions of the movie.
Totally disagree. This is the best version made of Jane Eyre and I've seen them all. The film makes one really 'believe they're in that time period with the style of film used and the photography, beautifully made. Scott is the best Rochester, I love his demeanor in this, I'd fall for him too. He and Susannah York were perfectly suited for each other, I love this version. And the music, the glorious, haunting music in this I never tire of, it's mystical.
This is also my favorite version.
Wonderfull
I saw this so long ago - decades. And at the time I was taken with the story, knowing it to be, within obvious filming constraints, loyal to the novel. Watching it now though, wonderful as it is, I'm well aware of the kind of horrified - hands in the air in shock - reviews it would earn were it to enter today's cinemas. George C Scott was the ultimate Alpha Male and a growling, veritable volcano of emotions and passions of the atavistic sort that we never see - or that no modern man dares display - in Woke Millenial 2022! It's therefore a guilty pleasure to watch George C. doing what he does best onscreen - displaying that fabulous old-fashioned machismo as Mr Rochester (even if you'd never want to be married to him yourself)!
Rochester was no Beta Male, for sure:)
I disagree. Yes, Rochester was what would be called today an alpha male, but in the book he was much more invested in relationship with Jane, than in this movie version. He was the one who made her attached to him. Jane in this movie is much too old and her main feature, complete innocence and inexperience, is not believable here. It’s a nice movie, well made, the music is great. But it’s not true to the book. Not only today’s woman, but Jane as was written by Bronte, would not fall in love with this Edward Rochester.
Jane is 18, Rochester about 38. These actors are middle aged
It is obviously done for keeping the run time short, but this felt super rushed and so not deep or meaningful. It's cool to experience the different ones though, so thanks for sharing it.
Si Jane luce así a los 18 años, no quiero imagina cómo se verá a los 40.
@astridagilarl. SÍ ESTA "JANE EYRE" TIENE 18 AÑOS QUE VENGA DIOS Y LO VEA. NI ELLA ES ADECUADA PARA EL PAPEL DE "JANE EYREY " Y TAMPOCO EL PARA HACER DEL "SEÑOR ROCHESTER ".
30:26 to 30:27 Something odd happened here. There seems to be a part that is missing. I've never seen this version of Jane Eyre. I didn't know it existed. But then I didn't read the book for the first time until the early 80s. 32:22 Mr. Rochester really shows his bad temper in this version, lol. Yet Jane remains cool. She's had plenty of worse experiences at Lowood to help her with Mr. Rochester's outburst. This film is well done for its time. It has all the essentials and adheres closely to the book with the exception of her life before Lowood. And also at the end, the only line that is missing, and which is one of my favorites, as she looks upon Edward and then makes her presence known, is "Pilot recognizes me".
I loved the music from this.... I went to our local music store and arranged to have the piano version imported from England....lol, the clerk told me, if I had one, I could put up my card in the shop to attract students! I hardly knew what I was doing, I just liked the theme.... Same with Holst's The Planets.... I got the whole suite imported so I could play a couple of stanzas. This is the best depiction of the characters. She was plain and he was not beautiful.
I honestly didn’t mind this one. It’s not terrible. Could definitely be worse and could definitely be better.
Does not compare to Timothy Dalton’s portrayal of Rochester. George Scott was rather dull in this version. Jane Eyre was not cast correctly in this version as she was much too old and over dressed for the part. Nice story, lovely music, but dull.
I wish I could watch this. I really truly do. I've watched every other version of this story out there, but something in me is revolted at the thought of watching Patton (George C. Scott) play Mr. Rochester. I just can't do it. I like Scott, just not the thought of him and this character joined together.
Any similarity to the book is purely coincidental.😞
I do not know what i just watched . The romance in this movie is confusing .
Conheço todas as versões filmadas dessa obra-prima, cuja história sempre me encantou por mostrar uma Jane Eyre de caráter e espírito fortes e um Mr Rochester de temperamento irascível. Apesar dos atores excelentes, infelizmente esse roteiro é o mais pobre em detalhes, resultando num resumo do resumo resumido. Uma pena!
The best soundtrack by john williams..also his personal faveroute...the radio plays star wars..indian jones...yadda yadda.. blah blah bloody blah..but this is his best.
The best version imo is the one with Toby Stephens and Ruth Wilson!
I wish they had put the red room in as it is so powerful
I wonder why they had these two playing the main characters. They were both older than the characters and both looked MUCH older. Jane is only supposed to be about 18/19, not 31 as Susannah York was. And Rochester is only supposed to be about 36, not 43, as George was. But both people looked much older than their real ages.
Beautiful film
Watch the film version first, then read the Unabridged book. You'll Love it. Delving 1st from the aunts home, the school, and several great experiences to the end. I think there's an Unabridged Audio book on line to listen to.
Thanks for posting; tried to watch before but lost interest. This time I caught the humor of the circumstances and wit of the dialogue. Good choice in your collection.
I think, the original version still one and only real version.
You can't be picky, you're not pretty, you're plane Jane.
And then she married him, ... they lived happily ever after ...
Wonderfull version ofcJane Eyre!
I think the two leads were far too old.
TOTALMENTE.
