Jane Eyre (1943) - Twilight Time 11/12/13 (1 Viewer)

What an evocative cover...breathtaking!

Joan Fontaine in the title role, Orson Welles as Rochester, and even a brief, uncredited appearance from a young and very beautiful Elizabeth Taylor. I love this film, and can't wait to own it on Blu!

I like that cover, too. This is my favorite version of Jane Eyre. There are more faithful versions, but this one works best as a movie IMO.

Young Liz is very memorable as is Peggy Ann Garner as young Jane. Really a great cast throughout.

I am looking forward to this one. I love the cast, three folks I really enjoy, and, yet, I have never seen this version.

 

[Walter Kittel]

Beautiful cover art. I have to confess that I've never seen this film, but this is going to be a blind purchase based upon the cast and crew. Cinematography by George Barnes is enough, in and of itself for me to see this feature.

More Herrmann isolated...mmmmmm.

And yes, they certainly outdid themselves on that cover...one of the best of the year from any label.

Looking forward to checking this out even though my favorite version of this story remains the George C. Scott/Susannah York television movie...what a killer cast this Fox version has!!!

I'll be buying this new issue in preference to the more recent one. When working with the late and very lovely Susannah York many years ago she told me that rehearsals were sketchy as George C Scott didn't welcome interruptions to his poker games.
