The classic film starring Joan Fontaine as Jane and Orson Welles as Rochester. Co-adapted by Aldous Huxley, after his work on ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]''
{{tropelist|Reader, in addition to [[Jane Eyre|the novel's tropes]], I used these tropes:}}
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Blanche is blonde.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Joan Fontaine was 26, eight years older than Jane's 18. Elizabeth Taylor appeared the first time as Helen Burns in an uncredited spot.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: St. John Rivers appears during Jane's childhood as the local clergyman. This removes him from consideration as a romantic rival to Rochester when he reappears at the end (fortunately, given the age and power difference), and reformulates his obstacle to Jane's choice as a spiritual rather than emotional/marital one.
* [[Chiaroscuro]]
* [[Guttural Growler]]: Rochester.
* [[Ice Queen]]: Blanche has a haughty personality, but she is allowed to make her exit with some dignity.
