Story-line: after struggling through childhood as an orphan, Jane Eyre finds a job at Thornfield Hall where adult problems await her.
Pluses: dignified acting, a sombre mood, beautiful music by John Williams.
Minuses: the film was originally made for TV but its quality rivals that of studio features.
Comments: a quiet and powerful work. Remarkable chemistry between actors. A glorious adaptation of the great Charlotte Brontë novel.
