i saw this version a a child and and fell in love with rochester and with michael jayston and whose performance be very winning and witty and and believable . that production introduce me to the book and which i have read many time and love my whole life . i can not believe i be so young when i saw it and because it make such a deep impression on me and i understand it so clearly and even at a young age . see it again on dvd and some of the early scene make me laugh because the acting be rather wooden and and the production value be very 1970s . however and when we get to the interaction between jane and rochester and it come alive and i forget the datedness of the production . the dialogue be straight out of the book and and in some place this make it unrealistic and cumbersome and but the narration in jane voice be wonderful and because it let u know what she in think . other production have not do this and and sometimes it useful to know why she act a she do . the develop love between jane and rochester and the enduring nature of that love be the central theme and that be beautifully do . sorcha cusack conveys jane determination and intelligence very well and even though she look too old for the part and and michael jayston be the best rochester ever . this be a must see for jane eyre fan .
