Jane Eyre

A young orphaned girl (Joan Fontaine) takes the position of governess to the daughter of the mysterous Edward Rochester (Orsen Wells), master of a large and eerie house on the Yorkshire moors. Will she receive the same harsh treatment she has always known as a child - or, will she find the love she always longed for? ...And what dark secret lies hidden at the top of the house? This classic screen version of Charlotte Bronte's gothic romance reveals the answers in a wonderfully stylish and atmospheric production. Orson Welles' towering performance is ably supported by an all star cast including Peggy Ann Garner (as the young Jane), Margaret O'Brien, and an early appearance by Elizabeth Taylor. © 20th Century-Fox Corp
