Blanketgirl928 Review of Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre (1970 TV Movie)

Reduced to the dollar store, but worth so much more

[7/10 · 27 March 2006]

I watched this on a whim because it was sold at a dollar store. I enjoyed it because of acting and the chemistry between the two main characters. At first the likelihood of them falling in love is convincingly unbelievable. Thankfully I couldn't remember the plot from having read the book a few years ago. The music score by John Williams enhanced it as well as added to my fear of what was living in the attic. One of my main complaints is that Jane is repeatedly called "plain" and "not pretty" but the actress is actually gorgeous. At the time Hollywood didn't seem to cast any actresses that were realistically plain yet appealing.
