Title: Not the best
Review: No offence to Orson Wells, but I do not like his portrayal of Rochester much. He is a little too wooden. It feels weird, the way he says in his very low voice: "Jane! Jane!" When he says her name, I don't know if I want to be frightened or sad or andry. He doesn't exhibit much emotion. SPOILER: He doesn't repent even in the end. He makes me feel very sorry for Jane. One might wonder how Jane would fall for someone like him.Joan Fontaine is fine as Jane Eyre. She lacks a little stubborness though as Jane. Young Elizabeth Taylor is a very angellic Helen. Sometimes though, I'm not sure if they want to make it a horror film (ex. When young Jane finds Helen dead, she screams. The camera is focused on the hands like a weird murder movie).In short, I didn't like this adaptation that much. I maybe biased though because I am a literary purist.
