In 1961, the anthology television show “Family Classics” released an hour long episode adapting Jane Eyre. It starred Sally Ann Howes as Jane and Zachary Scott as Rochester. Unfortunately this episode has never been officially released, but an audio recording of the show has surfaced and Charlene breaks down why she feels it’s the best of the hour-long American adaptations of Jane Eyre.

This is a rare solo episode in which Charlene can enthuse over this version and insert audio clips to illustrate all the best moments. If you like your Jane Eyre adaptations sappy, romantic, and GOTHIC, you might like this one.  The full audio of the adaptation is on youtube here: https://youtu.be/GxHWF0AjC2g

The last chapter of the novel is an emotional one, where Jane brings the reader up to speed on what has happened after her marriage to Rochester. She describes such a state of blissful union that Mike and Charlene revel in Jane and Rochester’s happy ending.  This is also the end of the podcast in its current format, but we do plan to occasionally podcast about a variety of Jane Eyre related topics in the future.  We may not be back for some time however, so stay subscribed to be notified when new episodes drop!

Many thanks to everyone who has listened along to our discussions of the book! We so appreciate the love and support for the show. Farewell for the present.

Jane makes a visit to Ferndean, where Mr. Rochester is living in desolate seclusion.  But she helps him regain his vivacity as she playfully eases his mind and reassures him that she is there to stay and will never leave him again. Join Charlene and Mike as they discuss the sweetly romantic reunion of our protagonists, and the penultimate chapter of this novel.
