Jane Eyre (1944, USA) - A series of unfortunate events. It's all quite ridiculous, but I love the style: Almost a horror movie, set in an alternate England of fog, shadows and sadists. I haven't read the novel, is it the same or meant to be taken seriously ? Watched it all. The Suspect (1944, USA) - Kind middle-aged Charles Laughton gets a lover and murders his wife.

So I think this is the first time we've ever had three different versions of the film on the site. We started back in 2007 with the Lon Chaney version from 1923. Then last year it was the 1939 version with Charles Laughton. Now we fast forward to 1956, for the first [...]
