Jane Eyre is a 1949 American television play adapting the novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. It aired as an episode of Studio One.
The episode was directed by Franklin J. Schaffner whose biographer wrote "From the start of the show to its end, [producer Worthington] Miner's influence is apparent: Schaffner's camera is constantly on the move; in a few years he would be known for his long and graceful tracking shots. Oddly enough, none of the other networks used a moving camera to any extent."[1]
The Independent called it "moving and well integrated."[2]
Producer Hal Wallis was so impressed by Charlton Heston's performance he put Heston in Dark City.[3]
