Jane Eyre (1944)

[plumeria66]

she looks like anna paquin.

[LastTree]

Talk about public humilation!

[Chennaigirl123]

The adaptation's nothing spectacular... but the music's really nice!

[musicalcoholicdrunk]

7:08 try looking at Elizabeth eyes...even in a black-and-white picture her eyes were fascinating

[sumirei001]

Captivating

[4evajscgrl]

The actress who plays young Jane Eyre looks like the girl who played the daughter in a "Tree Grows in Brooklyn." I wonder if it is.

[kirkba]

@4evajscgrl Yes it's the same girl: Peggy Ann Garner.

[thes0ns]

The fuck? And I thought movies today were bad at sticking to the story of the original work. Guess it's always been that way.

[sibunafan331]

i hate the headmaster it seems like he never had a childhood

[ladycordelia17]

@sibunafan331 - I hate Brocklehurst too; audiences aren't supposed to like him, especially with the way he mistreats the pupils of Lowood at every turn (although all the movie adaptations have him being far more of a tyrannical presence than in the novel). And also in the novel, an offhandedly-mentioned girl is "guilty" of having naturally curly hair, whereas the "vain" curly-haired girl in the movies is always Helen (which is why Jane is punished for protesting over Helen's hair getting cut).

Liz Taylor at 11yrs old.

6:58 the girl with the dark hair looks like Elizabeth Taylor!!!???? Is it her............well im going to check on IMDb right now :)

[pagielme4ever]

@xTheNightWatchmanx Yes, that's Elizabeth Taylor at age 9 I believe...

[Fiumita]

Hoy falleció Liz Taylor y si esta no fue su primera película estoy cerca pues no figura ni siquiera en los créditos originales. QEPD

[ggiiuulliiaaa]

omg elizabeth taylor lol

[NosHabebitHumus]

No wonder this is so good. The screenplay was done by Aldous Huxley, Robert Stevenson (the director) and John Houseman. Huxley lived in L.A. from 1937 until his death in 1963.

[rebe1angel]

I still can't make up my mind. People ask me what my favourite book is......

I say Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre. Both, incredible love stories!

Damn, the Bronte sister's could write.

[MsSarjen]

@rebe1angel Have you read the Tenant of Wildfel Hall? Written by Anne. She is, I guess, the least famous of the Brontë sisters, but an equally talented writer. Wildfell Hall is also a great piece of story telling, however less in the style of the romantic period, and more naturalistic in the description of the relationship between men and women of the day.

[chrissy1095]

Elizabeth Taylor was an exqisite child and this is the best Jane Eyre ever. I agree, don't bother with any other version. This one had it all. Captured the mood of the book perfectly.

[Mike16011]

¡Novela sensacional!

[SmokinMo11]

Elizabeth taylor got absolutely no credit at all for her role as helen in this film on the original print.If 1 w/her name on it exists,then I've yet to see it,& it was'nt a small part at all.Her beauty as a child was breath-takeing & even as a senour.My father met her.& he said her eyes are really violet! Paralizeing beauty in person.This is the greatest Jane Eyer film to ever exist.A true work of art not to be missed! Orson wells was great as well! All others are horrible,dont bother..lol

[espiya29]

for me among other versions, this one effectively depicts the book of charlotte bronte

[fightinside1]

This film was actually made in 1943, not 1944.

[justify798]

Can anyone tell me where I can find "Middle of the Night" with Kim Novak?

[Guardian223]

The acting here is stupendous and the photography stunning ! All the remakes are inferior.

[MeNameAreYourName]

omg.. i love helen's hair. its so pretty.

[shineyourlight55]

please put the whole thing on youtube! I want to see this one SOO badly!!

[bowcreel]

6:30 lol.... "When I want your opinion madame I shall call for it!" (Slow down buddy, it's not a race!)

[nicki446]

Elizabeth Taylor is stunning.

[oranaise311318]

why there's not the entire film in youtube?? thre's only one in spanish!

[simkunni]

Liz stands out among all the other girls there...

[IlluminaraArt]

I read that Elizabeth Taylor could not get any roles and was told her eyes were "too old" and then this role came along, as Helen Burns. This is my all time favorite Jane Eyre film. I made a kitschy one on my Youtube channel (just for fun) if anyone wants to see it, it's called JANE EYRE: SCENES FROM MY LIFE

[jinkinkim]

helen is sooo pretty

[juliettization]

helen ..jane's friend was elizabeth taylor ....she was beautiful although she was a girl of tenyears old.

[h22oelghamry]

it i my fav. and best book have i brought

[Exzentrisch1883]

Wow! I had no idea it was such a good version, I had no idea. I enjoyed BBC's version too.

[hjb103055]

I don't understand why the same movie gets taken off if it's in English, but, left on if it's in another language. I'm sure it has to do with copywriting, I just don't know what it is.

[3909clancy]

The older films are more true to life on the way children were viewed and treated

[auroraborealis05]

goodness, i hate mr. brocklehurst so much!

[katchitifyoucan]

I thank anyone who uploads this version! A highly underrated classic!!

[plainrose93422]

out of all the movies of jane eyre this is far the best.

[leeguimaraes]

melhor versão de Jane Eyre.

Elizabeth Taylor está linda

[tjrekki]

Anyone seen the one with Orson Welles as Mr. Rochester? My absolute favorite. Orson Welles is quite excellent in it. Strongly recommend it!!

[229095]

I have, and it was without question my favorite.

[MemeLuaa]

lol its so old :p

[phantomfever17]

what a horrible, horrible man!

[DevaRupa]

Mr Brocklehurst a prime example of the fact that the stupider a man is the more he believes himself to be right.

[chinchillakisses]

Helen is exceptionally well cast. Just how I imagined her!

[VictoriaWinters1991]

Elizabeth Taylor was indeed phenomenal as Helen...probably my favorite Helen ever!

[TSammut]

Are you going to put the entire film on YouTube? I'd love to see the wonderful movie!

[bxgrl4ever]

I caught it on cable the other day and was so moved by it, I had to buy it..Love the story....

[Astughentsa]

The best version ever.

[Wolfen443]

@Astughentsa, old black & White films with a great cast & staff often got the story not quite right but deliver it most powerfully at least.

[DangVuVN]

@Astughentsa not the best, but very good compare to the movie industry at that time
