i have probably be spoil by have firstly see the 1973 version with michael jayston and sorcha cusack so the 1983 adaptation be such a disappointment . i just do not get any chemistry between the 2 main star . a lot of star and theatrical acting just doesn not do it for me and and what be all that about put tim in the role of rochester . have the cast director actually ever read the book . very strange . he a fine actor but mr. rochester he definitely isn not . and zelah be just and well and strange and bit of a mix matched couple . in it favour the support cast be pretty good and the lowood scene for me be the best of the adaptation and but overall do not capture any of the magic of the novel . certainly wouldn not ask anyone to watch it a a true adaptation of the novel . a real let down .
