Review of Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre (1943)
5/10
Did Stevenson even read the book???
4 February 2000
Though Jane Eyre was blessed with incredible performances by Welles and Fontaine, the movie completely disgraced the novel. I just finished reading the book, and the injustices were incredible. Especially that of switching St. John to a doctor at Lowood, and making him an unimportant part of Jane's life. Not to mention the fact that Stevenson disregarded any attempt to include Ms. Temple, one of Jane's most important role models. This movie truly makes me wonder if Stevenson actually read the book. Or if he did, was he paying any attention to the words he perused?
