Trivia: Orson Welles did enough work behind the scenes that the production company offered him a producer credit, which he turned down. Welles’s official reason for this is a belief that a person who is not directing the film shouldn’t be “just” a producer.
Goofs: Revealing mistakes: The text of the “book” that appears on-screen – which appears not to overlap with the text of the classic novel Jane Eyre on which the film is based for even a single sentence – repeats itself.
“Small, plain and poor, Jane Eyre comes to Thornfield Hall as governess to the young ward of Edward Rochester. Denied love all her life, Jane can’t help but be attracted to the intelligent, vibrant, energetic Mr. Rochester, a man twice her age. But just when Mr. Rochester seems to be returning the attention, he invites the beautiful and wealthy Blanche Ingram and her party to stay at his estate. Meanwhile, the secret of Thornfield Hall could ruin all their chances for happiness. Written by A.L.Beneteau <albl@inforamp.net>”
