The 1943 film adaptation of “Jane Eyre” was a collaboration between director Robert Stevenson, novelist Aldous Huxley, and producer John Houseman.
After a tumultuous upbringing in an orphanage, Jane Eyre secures a job as a governess for the brooding Edward Rochester, played by Orson Welles.
Rochester’s dark past is revealed, including his marriage to a mentally unstable woman confined to the attic, which jeopardizes his future with Jane.
The presence of Orson Welles in the film has led to speculation about his directorial influence, but it was a collective effort by 20th Century-Fox.
Despite being a team effort, the film is regarded as one of the best adaptations of Charlotte Bronte’s classic novel.
“Jane Eyre” boasts a talented cast and stays true to the dark, gothic elements of the original story.
