Val Lewton whinged about his pulpy titles that RKO management assigned him - they are of course part of these film' charm. Some thoughts:
- so wonderfully creepy with gorgeous low budged cinematography and use of wind, cane fields, mute woman
- Jane Eyre is a great basis for a horror movie
- acting competent except Tom Conway who is superb - he brought so nuch to these films
- progressive in many ways for its time: sensible female doctor, black maid who is not an idiot
- great shocks like the appearance of the black guy.
A very classy movie.
