Colin Clive stars in the first all-talking version of Charlotte Bronte's classic novel, one of the great romantic melodramas of all time. Raised in an orphanage and trained as a teacher, Jane Eyre (Virginia Bruce) goes to work as a governess for Edward Rochester (Clive). Inappropriately, she falls for her handsome employer, little realizing the dark, hidden secrets of his past. When Jane finally faces the truth, it may be too late.
