The film directed by Robert Stevenson is about a girl Jane Eyre (Joan Fontaine) who has no family. She is sent to a harsh boarding school as a young girl named Lowood. The place is run by a very mean, and unforgiving man. She spends 10 years at the school when she decides to leave. She finds a job as a governess at Thornfield, a large estate owned by Edward Rochester (Orson Welles). As time passes she begins to fall for the older man and they begin to find love in each other. This film was put together excellently. At first, the movie is very dark and gloomy with very dark shadows and low light. Later, after they found love, the movie takes a turn in moods and it is turn brighter and more well lit. The sound in the movie was also spectacular. The speech was very clear in comparison to other films from this time, and also the music is great at building suspense with deep loud tones. I also noticed whenever it was dark and someone was carrying a candle the light seemed to follow them but not perfectly which made me believe a spotlight was used. Good film filled with drama and suspense.
