I thought this was a very good well paced movie with great performances by Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine. The story flowed well and this earlier versions are much better than the newer ones. A great classic cinema watch.

This is the first good _Jane Eyre_ adaptation I've seen! It's the only one I'm aware of that actually picks up what the book is putting down. Orson Welles as Mr. Rochester is spectacular, and Joan Fontaine captures Jane perfectly.
