Jane Eyre is a 1970 British film directed by Delbert Mann, starring George C. Scott and Susannah York.

Jane Eyre is an orphan raised by her tormentingly abusive aunt and cousins until she is sent to Lowood School, where cruelty is an education strategy.

Suddenly, when Jane is about to win the happiness she deserves, she discovers that Rochester is already married, that his wife is insane and has been living in accommodations in the attic.

Jane eventually returns to Edward, who now lives in a portion of his former mansion, which was largely destroyed in a fire that was set by his now deceased insane wife.

The film was originally meant to star James Mason and the actresses mentioned for the title role were Rita Tushingham and Sinead Cusack.
