Title: A poor version of a classic lovestory
Product review: This Zeffirelli version of Jane Eyre is the worst one I've seen (and I've seen them all, especially if you've read and love the book)-- I had a hard time staying to the end of the film. Hurt is totally unsuitable as Rochester, and unbelievable with his stilted dialogue (not to mention american accent); he seems uncomfortable in this role. Charlotte Gainsbourgh as Jane is more creditable, though the chemistry between the two leads falls like cold suet. This film may appeal to those who have not read the book...however, for my money, the BBC production with Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke is the best one of them all.
