Jane Eyre DVD Giveaway

giveaway

When I am not devouring the work of Jane Austen, I am reading/watching Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. And since Valentine’s Day is approaching on the 14th and my birthday is on the 19th, I thought this would be the perfect time host a few giveaways.

The first giveaway is the 1969 adaptation of Jane Eyre.

HPIM4268

Charlotte Bronte’s classic Victorian novel comes to life under the skillful direction of Delbert Mann. Adapted in the Masterpiece Theatre style of television. Susannah York stars as Jane Eyre, the orphaned girl who secures a position as a governess to the ward of Edward Rochester (George C. Scott), lord of an English manor called “Thornfield”. When Jane and the moody and tyrannical Rochester fall in love and agree to marry, his dark and sinister past comes to the surface and crashes down on both Rochester and the innocent Jane.

As this is a Region 1 DVD, the giveaway is only open to residents of the US and Canada.

Giveaway Ends, February 17.

To enter please leave your name and a valid email address

Just for fun:

Do you have a favorite movie version of Jane Eyre? Was there a certain actor/actress that embodied your version of Rochester/Jane?

Best Wishes and Good Luck,

Angela

  1. I would love to win a copy of this version. I remember years ago, whenever it was on TV, I would watch it.

    Have to say that my favorite Rochester to date is Toby Stephens! Love that version of this classic story.

    Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

  8. I haven't seen the version with Susanna York in it. Of course, I know who she is, as I'm from England, and I know what a great actress she was. I'd love to watch this version with Susanna in it. I was greatly saddened by her death two years ago.

    I have to go with the majority, and agree that Toby Stephens did a brilliant job as Mr. Rochester.

  9. I'm not sure if I've ever seen this version of JAYNE EYRE. It was made while I was living in Europe, and though more of this type of film is shown there, you just have to have the right time and place. I'd love to see this version.
