Jane Eyre (1997)

The blinding flash version, made for TV

I watched this with Judy in March of 2004.

Of all the versions, this is probably my least favorite, and brevity is the main reason. The actor for adult Jane, Samantha Morton, is passing in her marks, but there is just no justification other than TV for making this deep story so short and shallow. Seemed low budget, probably was, and should have very few fans because of it.

Recommendation: absolutely necessary for Jane Eyre lovers, but way too short to do the story justice.
