"Jane Eyre:" say what you will, Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine

Posted by tinear on February 26, 2011 at 17:31:00:
(and an unbelievably beautiful Elizabeth Taylor, when a very young child, that absolutely stole the scenes from the unfortunate little girl playing young Jane....) make a terrific couple in this Aldous Huxley screenplay reduction (the director and Houseman also were credited). Yes, it's melodramatic. But this story, told again and again (and Fontaine also starred in the Hitchcock/DuMaurier update that was "Rebecca") has the power to enchant those that let it.
One curiosity: Welles gives a marbles-in-the-mouth reading to his aristocrat that almost certainly influenced the young Marlon Brando in very dissimilar roles.
Watch it with your love interest and see if her tears don't flow....
