Dear Reader 02: The Silence and the Sound

November 12, 2021

In this episode I tackle silent films and radio adaptations of Jane Eyre.

For the first part I take on the difficult task of examining two different silent films…that I have not seen! I know, I know! The 1910 version starring Irma Taylor (Jane) and Frank Hall Crane (Rochester) has been lost to time and Woman and Wife (aka The Lifted Cross) from 1918 starring Alice Brady (Jane) and Eliot Dexter (Rochester) survives in an incomplete state at the BFI National Film and Television Archive. I do my best to piece together what they are about and look at reviews at the time to give my best analysis on how well they accomplish adapting the source material.

In the second half of the episode, I look at the Lux Radio Theatre production of Jane Eyre from June 14, 1948 starring Ingrid Bergman as Jane and Robert Montgomery as Rochester. Listen to the radio play here.
