Jane Eyre is my all time favorite story and I love to watch every version there is. Thank you for the upload!🥰

[dr.crowsworld]

Out of all the Jane Eyre versions I've seen, this probably has my favorite ending. It is beautiful, and the music is something out of a fairy-tale!!

There's so much about this movie to love. But I must say, the kiss in the garden is swoon-worthy!! One of my top favorite scenes of all time. (Diehard Scott fan 👍🥰😘)

I actually owned the sound track album (record). I loved this movie when I first saw it as a teen. I'm 64 and I still do. Can't believe I've found it again. Thank you.

One of the first films I saw as a young lady of 14 on late night TV. I loved it then ( 1971 ) as I love it now.

I've been looking for this version for DECADES!!!! Thanks for posting!

Although George C. Scott and Susanna York are older than the characters in the book, their deep and skillful performances - and strong chemistry - are the best ever.

Why is that whenever people talk about dramatizations of "Jane Eyre" they only talk about the more recent versions? They never mention the versions with people like George C. Scott or Orson Welles. And this one even has music by John Williams!

Can't believe It.. first Jane Eyre I ever saw. Amazing film, I was 13 . Always in my heart... George C Scott. Fell for him... Wonderful music throughout the film.... Thankyou so much... for this...Best version ever...❤️

Thank you for this film. George C. Scott was a terrific Scrooge, too.

[aliciadanowski]

This is the very best film ever made of Jane Eyre. I have watched this so many times over the years. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you, this version is the first one I saw after reading the novel as a kid and I have not seen it since. Really good cast, production and authentic locations, even though the issues with this version due to the original film's lost (lighting and choppy edits). Glad I read it first, it's a really good book. I enjoy all the film versions, some better than others, but it is a great romance, in the end.

[clemmorris]

No one but no one could describe Susannah York as 'plain'. Beautiful more like.

[fortunemickaellagenevievec]

I actually love all movies or series starring George C. Scott, except this adaptation of Jane Eyre and it’s one of my favourites

[lynndrury]

I went to see this at the pictures when it was first released. Still my favourite adaptation of one of the best stories ever. Thank you for sharing

[Elena-gdqu]

Music, actors - everything here is impeccable!❤️

[valkyriesardo]

This is not the best quality copy of the film but it is tolerable enough to watch. This is among my favorite versions. The love theme is unforgettable and absolutely perfect for this story. I can play the melody in my head at will. It is John Williams of course. Every time I fall in love with a film score, he turns out to be the culprit. Scott does justice to Rochester, gruff, tender, and refined at all the right moments. Few can do a tortured soul quite so well. York is too beautiful a woman to be entirely convincing as plain Jane, but at least she has the acting chops to play the part.

My favorite book … in seventh grade… back in 1965 … Ages ago….♥️
