    • Quotes

      Edward Rochester: You're very cool. An orphan child of low degree, where do you find such coolness?

      Jane Eyre: Out of my head, sir.

      Edward Rochester: The one I see on your shoulders?

      Jane Eyre: Yes, sir.

      Edward Rochester: And has it other furniture of the same kind within?

      Jane Eyre: It is well stocked, I hope, sir.

    almost as good as the 40s version ...
    ... but not quite. The 40s version had the mist and the overacting of the great Mr Welles - this has a fabulous cast, particularly Scott and York who are both superb, but just falls short of the magic of the creaky old b&w version. This one has its moments a-plenty though and is well worth tracking down. A definite 8 out of 10.
