Default 1971 Version Of Jane Eyre
I am not looking for this film on dvd, but does anyone rememember this version of Jane Eyre starring George S Scott, Susanna York and Jack Hawkins.

It was given a theatricral releae over here, but it was made for tv. Saw it when it came out in the pictures when I was elveven.

I was under the impression that this version was regarded as being a bit naff, but just looked up to reviews in Maltins guide and RT guide to films and the reviews were not bad.

At the time of going to see this film as a youngster I remember that there was a remake of Wuthering Heights. I have never seen this version, Harry Andrews stars along with Timothy Dalton and Judy Cornwall.

There were a number of all-star literary adaptations made for American TV (usually Hallmark) given theatrical releases over here. Critical favour was against them at the time, possibly because of the all-star nature of them and the American TV connection. The whirligig of time often has its compensations and these films do seem to be finding favour now with the crits.
Thats the joke that killed the Music Hall !
