2.0 out of 5 stars Great film - Bad DVD!, April 15, 2002

This review is from: Jane Eyre (1971) (DVD)

I was so excited to see that this wonderful made-for-tv movie had been released on DVD. What a horrible shock it was to see that the print the DVD was created from was in terrible condition. Whole scenes are missing. The dialog jumps around. The screen goes completely black in the middle of a scene for a good three seconds. There are scratch lines throughout the film.
The "original" film itself I give 5 stars (from memory). The DVD -- doesn't deserve a single star. Shame on the production company for not remastering this brilliant film.
If you love Jane Eyre, these performances in this are well worth watching, but find a different copy.

1.0 out of 5 stars An awful treatment of a great story, December 31, 2004

This review is from: Jane Eyre (1971) (DVD)

I bought the DVD version of this movie on the recommendation of my wife who loved the version she saw aired in television. But the version put to DVD was a disaster.

The lighting was poor to non-existent; the film quality was terrible. Reminding me of a VHS tape that had been copied one too many generations.

Entire scenes were simply excised. In one instance Adele is being put to bed, and we immediately cut to another scene - coming in in mid-sentence - where it's the next night. This happens often throughout the film.

Characters such as Grace Poole and Mason are never even properly introduced, leaving one to wonder if they'd dozed off for a few minutes during the movie.

The DVD we saw was produced by Platinum Disc Corp and they ought to be ashamed! Even at $6.32 it was a gyp.

Be careful which version of this movie you buy! We're sending this one back.

This review is from: Jane Eyre (1971) (DVD)

Not the orignial tv version I recall. Edited,hacked,half of the novel left out, so parts didn't even make logical sense. When searching for this dvd I read most of the reviews but when I saw this had George C. Scott I recalled this as the one I was searching for and obivously didn't read the reviews. Never imagined someone would butcher the original sooo badly!
