Review of Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre (1934)
3/10
Jane Eyre, chronologically ...
16 April 2011
For fun, our family is watching all the extant versions of Jane Eyre in chronological order. So, we all read the book first. And, the 1934 version was the oldest version we could get our hands on (Netflix). It took about 3 minutes to figure out we were going to stray far afield from the book.

Letter Grade: D

This must have been Matinée fodder. A "star vehicle". 62 minutes. When you look at the epics being done in 1933-35, there seems to be no excuse for butchering the storyline and the essence of Jane from Charlotte Bronte's writing.

Onward ...
