I did stumble on a very interesting tie-in on one of the links though and learned a lot about the Dehavilland Mosquito…

Thanks; I thought William Hurt and somehow wrote John Hurt. I’ll correct it.

I often have too short of an attention span to watch video links, listen to podcasts, and such.

But I just watched about an hour’s worth of Jane Eyre film clips. When I saw that you linked all of those different versions of the same scene, I figured that it was worth my time to check them out.

I think I like the 1973 and 1983 versions the best, and I also liked the 2011 one.

According to the credits, it was William Hurt, not John Hurt, in the 1996 version. But I agree, that one wasn’t so good.

I still kind of think of George C. Scott as General George S. Patton or General Buck Turgidson.

Am I right?

Fourth Oscar, maybe for Lewis?.

And I think Kate could pull off a beautiful plain Jane.

It also features one of my favorite male actors, Robert Ryan.
