The story takes place on a film set in 1944. It is about Jane Eyre experiencing harsh childhood in an orphanage becomes a governess in rich family. She meets Edward Rochester and falls in love with him, but his family forces him to get married with an insane woman.
The whole picture seems to fuse a relentless, revisionist Mercury Theater "take" on Jane Eyre to an obvious attempt on the part of Fox to ride the post-Rebecca wave of Gothic romantic mystery.
Solid, unimaginative version of the book with great cast.

A well-constructed piece of studio work, with vivid black-and-white cinematography under matte painting skies that creates a turbulent, oppressive mood.
One of the best Hollywood versions of Bronte's classic text, largely due to Orson Welles' powerful performance, dark visuals, and ominous music by yje genius Bernard Herrmann.
