As a Jane Eyre enthusiast for several years, I have seen many adaptations of the novel. Most are just simple 2-hour movies that gloss over key points from the book in the name of time and artistic license. This film, however, brought alive my mental imagery when I read the book. Timothy Dalton is magnificent. He encompasses Mr. Rochester's character inside and out. Zelah Clarke is also impressive as Jane. The more I see other versions of the novel, the more respect I have for the BBC film. I give it my highest recommendation. You won't be disappointed. Just remember to keep a hanky handy for the last 1/2 hour!
