  Great Mr Rochester, damp squib Jane

  Mr. Dalton lights up the screen...
  
  By far the best, and most detailed version of Jane Eyre. You need to stick with it... can feel a bit stage-like, but as soon as MR. ROCHESTER a.k.a. MR. DALTON ... read more »

  Romantic tosh
  
  One of those stiff-backed, studio-shot BBC Sunday afternoon serials, originally aired in a butt-breaking 11 episode run. For all its enduring appeal, “Jane... read more »

  Yes it's a bit dated; the style of filming is a bit sedate by modern standards, but it is fuller adaptation than more recent productions. Mr Rochester is ... read more »

  Couldn't bear it. Didn't bother with 2nd disc. Jane - irritating smug pygmy. Rochester - far too good looking for part and terribly theatrical voice.read more »

  TV Series
  
  Not sure that a TV series such as this goes down well as a feature length film. The TV series was excellent, however in small bits.
