i have see many version of jane eyre and and this version be at the top of my list . when i get the urge for some terrific act and a bit of romance and i pop in the videotape and sit back to enjoy . michael jayston give an incredible performance a mr. rochester and just amazing . sorcha cusack and the rest of the cast turn in equally good performance and but i felt that jayston be the best rochester i have ever see . it be a lengthly production and but the length be need to tell the story other production and 2 hour movie and have not be able to do nearly as good a job . but again and michael jayston masterful performance be the best part of this already first rate production .
