Orson Welles epitomized, as by his melodious baritone voice whether soothing or bellowing, and his larger than life physique whether galloping or tenderly embracing, the vicissitudes of the Byronic hero/antihero.
Typical woman swooning. Orson Welle's voice was the result of Tobacco smoking. As from his biography Brady wrote, "his ill health was exacerbated by the late hours he was allowed to keep and an early penchant for alcohol and tobacco".
Fun fact. Joan Fontaine is the only actress to have won an Oscar for acting in a Hitchcock film, having won an Academy Award for her role in "Suspicion" (1941).
There have been many dramatizations of Jane Eyre, and this is the very best! Orson was the definitive Mr Rochester just as Joan was the perfect Jane. All other dramatizations has one of the other miscast. Love this movie! (And the book is even better.)
What's So shocking about that? Mind you Liz started out in Hollywood as a child actor. She was just one of the very few amongst legions of child actors that made it into the adult world of acting and thereafter thrived (like "Lil Rascals" Jackie Cooper did), whereas most said child actors tend to bite the dust by the time they reach 18 or thereabouts (like Shirly Temple did for example) and thereafter be forgotten about for good (with a few rare exceptions, like, again, Shirley Temple:)
After having watched all versions, this is definitely the best. Dark, dramatic and haunting as the moors around Haworth under a thunderstorm. It captures the oeuvre’s spirit to perfection.
yes but large parts of it expurgated, so that it is hardly recognisable. If as you say, you have read it many times, you could not have failed to see that. Just a shadow of the book and very much impaired in its content and impact.
Like Gone with the Wind (1000+ pages), the novel Jane Eyre (800+ pages) was way too deep and wide to fit a reasonable screen showing time, so had to be abridged, and genteelized to suit the then mass audience culture.
This film brilliantly captured, distilled and amplified for theatrical effect the themes of cruelty, greed, violence, pathos. and redemptive true love in Bronte's novel.
@@safetynudge9026 I had forgotten how they left out the last part about her cousins, but the novel had too many implausible coincidences and that mental telepathy bit anyway.
Love the cinematography! The scenic matte paintings, the dark candle lit lighting of the manor house, and the performances all around making this my favorite telling of this Charlotte Brontë's novel.
Thanks, it's very hard to beat this original Black and White version. I've watched just about all of them....... The story is dark, so the tone is... Jane was ahead of her time, and so was Bronte. Independent women.
Yes. Great movie, great actors. 1943. On the other „end of the world” people were murdered. Just a few dates. 2.1.1943 German gendarmes murdered two Polish families in the village of Boiska-Kolonia near Solec on the Vistula River for providing aid to Jews. 4.1. In Athens, Jerzy Iwanow-Szajnowicz, an agent of the British services, a hero of the Greek resistance movement, was shot by the Germans; He was born in Warsaw, from a Russian father and a Polish mother,before the war he represented Poland in water polo. 13.01 The Germans carried out the liquidation of the so-called secondary ghetto in Szydłowiec, where they gathered about 5,000 people; most of the Jews were deported to the Treblinka extermination camp; about 300 people died during the liquidation operation . 22.01 Israel Ajzenman, a Jewish agent of the communist People's Guard, murdered seven residents of Drzewica (Opoczyn County) - activists and soldiers of the national underground. 25.01 In KL Auschwitz, Germans shot 52 Polish prisoners suspected of conducting underground activities in the camp, 2.02 The surrender of German troops near Stalingrad; more than 90,000 German soldiers were captured by the Soviets, including the commander of the 6th Army, Field Marshal Friedrich von Paulus; in total, as a result of the Stalingrad operation, Germany and their allies lost 1.5 million killed, wounded and captured. 5.02 The beginning of the liquidation of the Białystok ghetto. Within eight days, the Germans deported 10,000 people to the Treblinka extermination camp and 2,000 people were murdered on the spot. 9.02 On the night of February 8 to 9 in Parosza in Volhynia, the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists UPA of massacred Polish residents, killing over 155 people, including children and infants; the crime in Parosla was the first crime on such a large scale committed by the UPA against Poles. 26.02 In KL Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Germans created a so-called family gypsy camp for the Roma. Warsaw Ghetto Uprising - a heroic armed struggle between the Jewish combat organisations of the Warsaw ghetto and the Germans fought from 19.04.1943 to 15.05.1943, the greatest act of armed resistance of Jews during World War II. Nov.1943, Tehran- Churchill secretly betrayed Poland and together with Roosevelt sold Poland to Stalin, killings, tortures and over 40 years oppression followed.
😮 Be sure to see the Timothy Dalton version!!! My absolute favourite!😊 The way he says "this...Syngin Rrrrivers!" and "Jane, tell me, were there only women where you were?"😊 Or, much before those scenes, "You shall walk up the pyramids of Egypt!"😁🌹
She was a veteran actress by the time Bewitched rolled around. She was in Citizen Kane. Remember her in that Twilight Zone episode--the old woman silently fighting the tiny "alien?"
He was such a great actor Timothy Dalton's Rochester is my favorite except for the last scene ..Welles blew it out of the park and nailed it to a T like no other... Gives me shivers every time I watch it. Also the line about the string connecting them was brilliantly done.
I always cry when I saw the part where Jane and her friend Helen were punished to walk in the rain. Elizabeth Taylor was So beautiful and it hurts me to see her being punished with Jane.
I recall in 7th or 8th grade at Parochial school, some 50+ years ago, Jane Eyre was all the rage among my female classmates! Don't know if the Priests/Nuns approved or encouraged, but they did not disapprove to my knowledge! If this movie is an accurate portrayal of Charlotte Bronte's book, I find it quite amazing that it was so well liked...! Dark is an understatement! Mr Welles delivery of extended passages was excellent! Ms Fontaine's portrayal of Jane conveyed so perfectly the waves of emotion! As a male, I enjoyed this immensely! Thank you, Donald P Borchers for this very good post!
Эта версия входит в число моих самых любимых. Великолепный подбор актёров. Почти все понравились, отлично играют. А главные роли просто безупречно сыграны. Хотя мистер Рочестер здесь нереально красив, впрочем и Джейн очень красива, хоть её и попытались сделать более простой и скромной, но игра их настолько безупречна, что невозможно не поверить, что это настоящие Рочестер и Джейн, как в книге. Конечно, девочка, сыгравшая Джейн в детстве тоже отлично справилась со своей ролью. Не стану перечислять всех, кто мне понравился здесь ещё, потому что почти все прекрасно сыграли свои роли.
Elizabeth Taylor’s first film was actually a year before from Universal,”There’s one Born every minute “. I not sure the film even exists,for its never shown.
No this was not her first movie. Her first contract was with Universal. Then she was signed with MGM. She made at least one Lassie movie with Roddy McDowell before this.
Exceptional film, nu-l pot uita chiar dupa ce am vizionat multe alte filme dupa acest roman, doar ca Joan este mult prea frumoasa iar pe Orson Welles il asociez cu Otello si, in scena finala, când ii mângâia gâtul, ma gândeam la Desdemona.
She was a vital member of Welles' Mercury Theater group whose members also included Joseph Cotton, Bea Benaderet (Petticoat Junction), Vincent Price, Everett Sloane (Van Helsing in Dracula) and Mary Wickes (White Cristmas). Welles cast her in several of his films including "Citizen Kane." Agnes Moorhead excelled on stage, film and radio plays. She was more talented and versatile than history remembers her.
@DonaldPBorchersOG She played a wretched snob in "Since You Went Away"...a WWII flick about the homefront between 1943-45. You couldn't help but hate her! That means, as usual, she absolutely nailed her role.
I love this version the best n most original than the others I truly enjoyed watching it liz Taylor was so beautiful Joan Fontaine was just as gorgeous thanks for posting ghis movie ❤❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😅
Some older edited versions of it have her scenes cut out. Grrrr But I think many people are aware now that she did this, uncredited role. So it's not removed nowadays. This was before National Velvet. She was 11 years old in this.
Uh, no. Guy Pearce was born on December 14, 1893 in Cheltenham, England, UK. He is known for "Laura" (1944), "Lifeboat" (1944) and "How Green Was My Valley" (1941). He died in May 1979 in the USA. Guy Edward Pearce (born October 5, 1967) is an Australian actor.
It isn't true to the plot in the book really, but Orson Welles makes a very good Rochester and Joan Fontaine a very good Jane Eyre. My favourites though are still Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens in the BBC dramatisation.
I can't believe I thought Orson Welles was ugly. After watching this movie I feel butterflies in my stomach. Btw that kiss at the end was scary 😂 I don't want to talk about the differences with the book, but Jane would have never ever written to Mr Brockenhurst. Nonetheless it was a nice watch ❤
Have you ever seen the movie "Heavenly Creatures?" In the story, the two girls regularly visit the cinema and one of them is obsessed with Welles (or maybe they both are?) but they refer to him as "it"...being obsessed and repelled at the same time. The movie is based on a true story, but who knows if that part was actually true. It was funny, anyway.
Fraiser's character on the Sitcom, 'Frasier' reminds me of Orsen Well's, but personalities are very different , lol . Must be their voices similar . No matter how many times I've watched this movie, I never get it tired of it. 😊
Well, that was long before this. He was a staple of radio drama. He didn't just "perform" in it; he was responsible for the whole broadcast--he even knew that most listeners wouldn't tune in til several minutes after it started (because of another program that was airing at the same time). That was why many listeners didn't hear the disclaimer at the beginning that this was just a drama. He intentionally tricked them into believing the broadcast was real.
Great movie ! Very morbid in some ways . The irony of a person spouting Christ out of one side of his mouth and acting like the devil himself being mean to a little child is unacceptable . Sad to say , but it is still going on in this modern day . How any adult could be nasty to a child is beyond comprehension . Thanks for sharing this movie . Greetings from south east Alabama USA ☮️❤️
I wonder if Orson really directed this. It is clearly a Mercury production. And Robert Stevenson never made a movie with this level of cinematic style.
This movie is good but very, very dark. I prefer the 1997 version with Ciaran Hinds and Samantha Morton. Excellent acting. Watched it and then had to watch it again. Very enjoyable.
🤔Certainly an interesting variation from many of the Jayne Eyre versions. Particularly admire his final handling of the gold-digging "Blanche Ingram". 🤔🤷♀️ Thank you.
Poor young woman from one insufferable misery to another boorish one, I like the portion when she finally comes on her own withheld by cruel aunt let me skip to that I have read this book and seen this movie so often
I encourage people who love this story to read the book! An absolute masterpiece of literature.
Great idea! Glad you enjoyed it.
I know the book since age of ten. Today I am seventy eight. Masterpiece!
Orson Welles, what a voice, very soothing. Like Alan Rickman.☺️
May these 2 lovely men rest in Peace.❤
Love Alan rickman.
Roger that. R.I.P.
Да, есть некоторое сходство в их голосах. Голос Орсона просто завораживает. Впрочем, его внешность здесь тоже неотразима.

Joan Fontaine very underrated actress, should have deserved more
She was excellent in Daphne De Maurier’s Rebecca with Laurence Olivier 🇬🇧
She won an Oscar for best actress so her talent was recognized
Fun fact. Joan Fontaine is the only actress to have won an Oscar for acting in a Hitchcock film, having won an Academy Award for her role in "Suspicion" (1941).
@@DonaldPBorchersOGShe was also a helluva golfer and a great cook...lots of layers to this screen legend.
@Marketoromagnolo
She was great in Rebecca also great actress better then her sister Olivia I think
There have been many dramatizations of Jane Eyre, and this is the very best! Orson was the definitive Mr Rochester just as Joan was the perfect Jane. All other dramatizations has one of the other miscast. Love this movie! (And the book is even better.)

What's So shocking about that? Mind you Liz started out in Hollywood as a child actor. She was just one of the very few amongst legions of child actors that made it into the adult world of acting and thereafter thrived (like "Lil Rascals" Jackie Cooper did), whereas most said child actors tend to bite the dust by the time they reach 18 or thereabouts (like Shirly Temple did for example) and thereafter be forgotten about for good (with a few rare exceptions, like, again, Shirley Temple:)

The wicked aunt went on to play Samantha’s mother, Endora, in the 60’s hit comedy ‘Bewitched’.
She was a vital member of Welles' Mercury Theater group whose members also included Joseph Cotton, Bea Benaderet (Petticoat Junction), Vincent Price, Everett Sloane (Van Helsing in Dracula) and Mary Wickes (White Cristmas). Welles cast her in several of his films including "Citizen Kane." Agnes Moorhead excelled on stage, film and radio plays. She was more talented and versatile than history remembers her.

@DonaldPBorchersOG She played a wretched snob in "Since You Went Away"...a WWII flick about the homefront between 1943-45. You couldn't help but hate her! That means, as usual, she absolutely nailed her role.

Roger that. Thanks for the visit!
I can now understand why so many people became upset when mr.wells performed in ""the war of the worlds".
Roger that. Welcome.
Well, that was long before this. He was a staple of radio drama. He didn't just "perform" in it; he was responsible for the whole broadcast--he even knew that most listeners wouldn't tune in til several minutes after it started (because of another program that was airing at the same time). That was why many listeners didn't hear the disclaimer at the beginning that this was just a drama. He intentionally tricked them into believing the broadcast was real.
I have to say Orson Welles plays an excellent Edward Rochester🤩.
Roger that. Thanks for watching.
I just loove aclasic movies 🎬 🎞 🎥
Me, too. Welcome.
Never tire of watching this film.....
Glad you enjoy it. Welcome.
I wonder if the child that jane eyre is in charge of is margaret o. Brian?
Yes it is Margaret O'Brien 😊
Great movie ! Very morbid in some ways . The irony of a person spouting Christ out of one side of his mouth and acting like the devil himself being mean to a little child is unacceptable . Sad to say , but it is still going on in this modern day . How any adult could be nasty to a child is beyond comprehension . Thanks for sharing this movie . Greetings from south east Alabama USA ☮️❤️
Roger that. Thanks for watching.
Every ‘ conscience must find its own way’ literature has some worthy lines written
Roger that. Thanks for watching.
Wonderful movie.......
Glad you like it. Welcome.
I wonder if Orson really directed this. It is clearly a Mercury production. And Robert Stevenson never made a movie with this level of cinematic style.
Good point. Thanks for watching.
Ich liebe den Roman und die verschiedenen Verfilmungen dazu. Jeder Regisseur hat seine Handschrift Mithilfe der Schauspieler hinterlassen.
Roger that. Welcome.
Wah.... menarik film hitam putih ❤
Glad you like it.
Always love this story and ghis movie.
Glad you enjoyed it. Welcome.
This movie is good but very, very dark. I prefer the 1997 version with Ciaran Hinds and Samantha Morton. Excellent acting. Watched it and then had to watch it again. Very enjoyable.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Welcome.
🤔Certainly an interesting variation from many of the Jayne Eyre versions. Particularly admire his final handling of the gold-digging "Blanche Ingram".
🤔🤷♀️
Thank you.
