Jane Eyre

(1943)Directed by Robert Stevenson97 minDrama, Romance
“A love story every woman would die a thousand deaths to live!”

A terrible secret at Thornfield Hall is being kept from the new governess, and the house gives no sign of what it is. Jane Eyre (Joan Fontaine), raised through a bleak childhood, takes the post and slowly warms to its abrupt, cold master, Edward Rochester (Orson Welles), in a Robert Stevenson adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's novel. The happiness she finds there is the first she has known, and the secret in the house could take it all.
