Jamaica Inn DVD

Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Charles Laughton, Leslie Banks, Maureen OHara, Emlyn Williams, Robert Newton

Alfred Hitchcock was a recognized legend in his own time. Among his wide range of skills was his ability to spot raw talent, especially in his earlier years. He took relative unknowns and gave them their first big breaks. That was precisely the case with Maureen O'Hara, who was cast in "Jamaica Inn" alongside the great English actor, Charles Laughton. In the movie, Maureen plays an Irish orphan girl (Mary) who lives on the rugged coast of Cornwall with her uncle. After several vessels smash on the deadly rocks, Mary begins to suspect it's more than accidental. By the time she realizes what's going on, she is a target for the marauding smugglers and highwaymen who are ravaging the area.
