Title: Almost as good as reading the book
Review: This version, and the more recent A&E version, are the two best adaptations I have seen of my favorite novel. While Dalton did a wonderful job, he IS too handsome to play Mr. Rochester. When Jane says she does not think him handsome, you simply don't believe her!The production values are not as good as the acting; the music is cheesy and the costume designer has for some reason seen fit to make all the women wear dresses that give them the illusion of enormous hips. However, you soon forget that as you get swept up in the story. I agree with JulepPark's review- the drawing room scene is heart-wrenching.There is one thing I didn't like, though- it ends too fast! It seems to stop in the middle of a scene, then go to the epilogue. But that is easily forgiven for the sake of the rest of it. This is worth every penny of the price.
