Editorial Reviews

Star-studded casts, including Samantha Morton (In America), Kate Beckinsale (The Aviator) and Ciaran Hinds (Rome), headline these acclaimed adaptations of two of literature s most enduring romances, collected on one value-priced DVD.

Emma, Jane Austen's story of a rich, clever, and beautiful young woman who can't resist orchestrating other people's love lives. As her romantic plans go ridiculously wrong, however, it's Emma herself who risks missing out on her perfect match!

Charlotte Brontë's moving story of Jane Eyre is about the improbable love between a young governess and her mysterious and tragic employer. After a wretched childhood as an orphan, Jane Eyre arrives at Thornfield Hall to take over her duties as governess. She soon falls in love with the brooding owner of Thornfield, Mr. Rochester. Jane gradually wins his heart, but they must first overcome the dark secrets of his past before they can truly find happiness.

This review is from: Romance Double Feature: Emma and Jane Eyre (DVD)

I totally enjoyed both films. The stories of Emma and Jane Eyre are timeless and no matter who the casts are, you can't go wrong. Kate Beckingsale, and Mr. Strong are terrific. So is the rest of the cast in Emma. Great story. This version of Jane Eyre is very good. Samantha is great and she is in both films. If you are fans of period films, you'll love these two timeless classics.

This review is from: Romance Double Feature: Emma and Jane Eyre (DVD)

I have seen five different versions of Jane Eyre and this one was by far the worst. It was almost too painful to watch. Many things were changed and left out. The one thing that most upset me was the interaction bewteen Mr. Rochester and Jane. From what they presented it would be difficult to understand why the two fell in love in the first place. I recommend the 1983 BBC version with Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke or even the 1973 BBC version with Sorcha Cusack and Micheal Jayston. The 1973 version is shorter, but it includes scenes that are missing in the 1983 version.
Emma, however, was a well written adaptation. I had pleasure watching it, though it was rather short. This movie is the only reason that it got two stars. Emma would have recieved four or five stars from me, but Jane Eyre is on the negative scale. I suggest buying Emma seperatly.
