It's difficult to watch the film without considering aspects of authorship, but if you can, there's a very good film underneath.

A well-constructed piece of studio work, with vivid black-and-white cinematography under matte painting skies that creates a turbulent, oppressive mood.

...that this Jane Eyre is more Orson Welles's movie than co-star Joan Fontaine's or director Robert Stevenson's may be a blessing in disguise.

Solid, unimaginative version of the book with great cast.
