JAMAICA INN (1939) - ♦♦

Directed by - Alfred Hitchcock

Written by - Sidney Gillat, Joan Harrison, Alma Reville, J.B. Priestley (based on a novel by Daphne Du Maurier)

Starring - Charles Laughton, Maureen O'Hara, Leslie Banks, Emlyn Williams, Robert Newton

"The tale of an orphaned girl who goes to live with relatives only to become involved in a violent smuggling scheme by shipwrecking pirates. Quite dull and showing virtually no sign of the characteristic traits of Hitchcock, the film’s only claim of interest comes from a show stealing performance by Laughton."
