Orson Welles was a good Rochester--I agree that Rochester's voice is so important--he "booms". Timothy Dalton's voice booms. In the most recent Jane, Fassbender doesn't boom but I really enjoyed him anyway. I'm not a purist, I appreciate others' visions of what the book is/could be. Can't wait to rewatch this version, to get the Fassbender version on DVD, and read more on this blog about Jane!!<br />JeannieJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04688768311155373218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-38276582048837365872011-04-28T05:26:40.876-07:002011-04-28T05:26:40.876-07:00@Alexandra - Thanks so much for stopping by!

My personal favorite is the Ruth Wilson/Toby Stephens version (hoping to post a review soon on the blog!) followed by the latest theatrical version. :)<br /><br />@Kristin - Thanks for stopping by! Great to have another fan of this version echoing LA's high praise. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-72278667832109116502011-04-27T15:24:13.663-07:002011-04-27T15:24:13.663-07:00I love this adaptation, and it's actually the ...I love this adaptation, and it's actually the only Jane Eyre movie I've seen so far. So I have nothing to compare it to except the book. I agree that the casting is incredible!<br /><br />~KristinKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592919145644124930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-84657248174676724922011-04-27T14:00:23.353-07:002011-04-27T14:00:23.353-07:00Interesting review!

I've *almost* seen the Ruth Wilson/Toby Stephens one - as in held it in my hand at the library and then decided that my stack was big enough all ready :-) - but that's about it. Which version would you recommend?Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437117457544744702noreply@blogger.com
