Jamaica Inn (1939) ALFRED HITCHCOCK

[@ToniHunterOne]

Now THIS is a Hitchcock classic! I've seen many prints of this and I have to say this is one of the best. Clean and crisp considering the age of this film. Thanks.

[@BellaFirenze]

Hitchcock expressed his disappointment with the film even before it was finished, stating that it was a "completely absurd" idea.

[@kevinvilmont6061]

Introducing Maureen O’Hara? Fantastic

[@glenncox9128]

Wow! Hitchcock, Laughton, O'Hara! Twists and turns! This movie is totally top notch!

[@PizzaFLIX]

Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you 🍕🍕🍕

[@theonlybuzz1969]

A great classic Hitchcock film. It had action, it had suspense, it had love and devotion, and it had most of all no blinking CGI nor Aliens!! Nice one mr Hitchcock you are a credit sir!

[@firescry69]

And it’s movies like THIS where the love I have for pirates and re-enacting of pirates comes from.YAARRRR. Ya Scurvy Dawgs you.

[@askjohnnianything2591]

A fantastic old film. Wonderful atmosphere, and the shipwreck scenes in black and white were stunning, not just for the time, but even by today's standards!

[@hookywookywithmalarkyman704]

One wonders if the building still exists ey ! bomb proof almost.

[@michaelhoey9668]

i am very proud to say that MAUREEN OHARA was born in the same county dublin IRELAND as i was . no more than a mile from my birth plac. RIP MAUREEN

[@ShogunHull]

SHE'S SPECtacular!! I love her so! Thrilled to know she's in this..its just starting for me. Thanks for the comment, Michael Hoey.

[@shughy1]

She chose to live in Cork though 😀

[@coling8176]

Changing the subject a little, I’ve holidayed in Cornwall many times and a few years ago we visited Jamaica Inn in the middle of Bodmin Moor. I think (and my wife agrees) that they make the best Cornish pasties ever ! This film was inspired by Daphne du Maurier’s stay at the inn in 1930.

[@marytygett4189]

Yummmy and I agree ! Man I could go for a couple of em right now .

[@scotthawkes4371]

Please don't come back we are full .me heartys. 😂

[@PumaLyn]

Thank you for sharing your lovely memories and do say hello to the Lady of the house for me. May you both make many more happy memories together. 🙂

[@steerpike1359]

You mean the BOOK was inspired by duMaurier's stay at the inn !

[@guileniam]

It still exists?

[@fweedom34]

A Hitchcock film I had never seen. Tysm for posting this exciting treasure. Black and white and no CGI. The cast was superb! They went on to make other classics. This early film showed Hitchcock and the cast's genius. How wonderful!

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

This is one of my favorite movies! Bought it in dollar store for, you guessed it! $1 😂 Thanks for the upload!

[@manueladames5835]

I saw this movie many years ago , was a child then, had never forgotten this great film with the fantastic produced pictures , back in the time, ...Now I found this film again on here!!!! Thanks for uploading ♡♡♡♡♡ There should be a remake ...would-be a success ☆ I guess....

[@vernonsanders371]

I love Charles laughton was one the greatest character actors ever

[@jak3589]

Alfred Hitchcock , Charles Laughton two of the best in film, great movie

[@HappyCodingZX]

Hitchcock's choices of angle and lighting are, as always, superb, but Laughton's sneering malevolence throughout manages to outshine even that. Brilliant.

[@chrisbanbury]

Harry the Peddler has to be the inspiration for characters like Bond's Dario, Clockwork's Alex, and Mad Max's Toecutter. The original.

[@stevefrayne]

What a tremendous movie. I’ve seen 32 of Hitchcock’s films and this is definitely a top 10 for me. I’ve never understood why it is under-appreciated. Other under-appreciated gems: Notorious, Suspicion, Saboteur.

[@ih82r8]

2 more of his that I love are "Young And Innocent" and "The 39 Steps". Also "The Lodger" is superb.

[@Jjudes9665]

The author of Jamaica Inn, Daphne DuMaurier actually HATED what Hitchcock did to her novel in this film adaption. He reportedly would not discuss the making of his version with DuMaurier in any way whatsoever. Usually authors are given the chance to be involved with screenplay and production, but not here. He did the same when he turned her book The Birds into a film in 1952 starring his favourite actress Tippi Hedren. He damn near drove her bonkers during his films. Hitchcock was a notoriously selfish man and thought of nothing more than making others suffer for what he wanted. He was a genuinely great director and film maker though. I love this film, the book and I’ve been to Jamaica Inn many times. It’s nothing like in the film of course, but the atmosphere is there. There’s no where quite like Dartmoor.

[@michaeldobeli814]

Charles Laughton was superb! Like always...

[@bluethunder4542]

That fat little gaylord was spot on

[@lilblackduc7312]

Quite a movie! Thank you...

[@johnferguson4089]

What a fantastic story and one of Charles Laughton's finest roles with Maureen O'Hara, Robert Newton and a fabulous supporting cast. It's a gripping story which keeps one on the edge of the seat throughout. A superb movie, thank you for posting this great classic.

[@monbrat3064]

One of the classic 😊🍿

[@33Donner77]

This is one of the best prints. Charles Laughton shouting at his servants as one would do in a large country house.

[@PAUL-ge1kl]

Begad what what😅

[@howardhudome3040]

Hitchcock was a exception director from the start I guess this movie was Maureen O'Hara's first big movie roll loved her in the Quiet Man she was always a beautiful Irish rose 🌹

[@ShogunHull]

I Really Like Her!! Forever .

[@shawnmccord7955]

I love these old movies they take u to a place u this lifetime can not make up

[@mizu88KA]

R.I.P Maureen O'Hara...one of the first classy red head in the movie business.

[@paacer]

+mizu88KA One of her earliest appearences in a movie, only 19 at the time .

[@mizu88KA]

So young to play a D.I.D

[@sheiladavis6523]

Susan Hayward was also a classy red head January 20,2021

[@MinorKeyDancing]

Thank you. The scene where she puts the flaming cape up is spectacular. Laughton changed a lot but in my opinion he made improvements to the original novel sometimes necessary in a film. The novel is rather a depressing look at man's depravity while this is a romantic ripping yarn.

[@marcusmoore8237]

You take it in the.but don't you?

[@calliedurling8780]

Thanks so much for posting this. Maureen will always be one of my top 5 Actresses.

[@ShogunHull]

Same here.

[@catweasle5737]

Brilliant. How young Robert Newton was. Died aged 50.

[@rjmcallister1888]

Charles Laughton and Maureen O'Hara would team up again shortly after this one, in America, and make the best version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" for RKO.

[@grahamkennethgarbutt9261]

Had a pint down the Jamaica Inn last week, its changed a bit but the price of a pint is robbery! ( Great film thanks.)

[@skinnerman100]

that's because pirates own it ...sorry couldn't help it

[@paulettemaximun2505]

what a great movie!!!!!!! Thank all who put this together...

[@MARKETMAN6789]

Great loved it .thank you. Loved Robert Newton as long John silver when I was a child

[@TheEaglehaslanded733]

Great movie to see again, I have watched it many times on DVD years ago. Thanks for sharing this classic old flick.🎥

[@jamofawkes7131]

Maureen o'hara was Ireland's greatest star of her day

[@bradstarkey4919]

And America great actress Style and grace some thing ur born with

[@ih82r8]

She was easily one of the 2 most beautiful women of the 20th century.

[@juliehawkins3907]

Agreed 👍

[@cavanpoet]

Any day

[@misst.e.a.187]

Brilliant HItchcock movie. Charles Loughton was wickedly hilarious and my favourite character. "CHAAADWICK!" Poor, long-suffering Chadwick 🤣😂

[@azcowgal5837]

This one was excellamt! I really enjoyed it. No flip-flops on the story.

[@bluethunder4542]

I stayed in western ireland one summer ,only bloody thing to watch was this ,nice!

[@stevengrotte2987]

Thank you, I enjoyed this movie the first time I saw it about 40 years ago, only wish it was easier to see but then I assume it was lighted in this manner on purpose.

[@user-mp3eq6ir5b]

1939 - Same year as the "39 Steps" ☆ Also recommend. Cornish Prayer that God Wrecks Ships on their Coast for Fun & Profit. Early Hitchcock can't be beat!

[@bovinestool1681]

"The Thirty Nine Steps" was actually released in 1935. Another one of my Hitchcock favourites from this time is "The Lady Vanishes" Which was released in October 1938, Seven months before "Jamaica Inn".

[@rosliamaryrackauskis971]

Thank you for posting this black & white. I tried to watch the new color one but couldn't follow so reverted back to good old days where people yelled on stage for the bennifet of the cheap seats. Maybe the English accents were just too spot on for me to understand, and Bob's your uncle.

[@shawnmccord7955]

Hi beautiful

[@shawnmccord7955]

I love this black an white too

[@kimbillhimer4458]

Maureen O'hara will always be my favorite actoress.

[@mrs.cracker4622]

Many thanks for uploading this great old film!

[@jeffolsen4983]

For whatever reason, one of my favorite flicks. It has been remade a # of times. It was only after watching this one (the original) that I learned it was based on a novel, of the same title, by Daphne du Maurier. Great book. Don't know why she was uncredited in this Hitchcock film (while about 5 screenwriters were) yet he went on to make a # more movies based on her books. Maybe she declined, as the movie diverges significantly from the novel.

[@sheliarouch375]

Rebecca was her best novel and my favorite film☺

[@jeffolsen4983]

"Birds" amongst them.

[@jeanettecook1088]

I haven't read the book... please tell me how this differs from it. Very curious!

[@Jack-ny4ju]

In the last ~ 125 years through the history of cinema and I had to make a personal choice among the finest of actors, Charles Laughton might be my first choice amongst all artists.

[@kennethdesmondmosley1075]

Some great iconic names associated with this

[@suzette7849]

First time seeing this wonderful film. Thanks for sharing it

[@garyboyd2799]

Jim (Jem) Trehearne (the good guy) ... aka... Robert Newton ... aka Long John Silver, Treasure Island, 1950 (the pirate that every other pirate after that strove for).

[@peasblossom1973]

Charles Laughton was SO overboard in this movie I can't believe it.

[@bradstarkey4919]

When he played Herod in a film he told the world the Script was not Biblical correct ...

[@robertswanson4070]

Wow! Classic. Charactors!

[@scottclinton2061]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@secretsquirrel6308]

Please post the 1935 Mutiny On The Bounty with Charles Laughton and Clark Gable. Charles Laughton is tremendous.

[@suzih.6687]

I've read the book many times. Thank you for posting the movie.

[@CHT420]

Charles Laughton a pirate in a few movies☠️🏴‍☠️

[@fixerupper3042]

This movie was quite a time piece. The footage was pretty good,

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

a true MONSTER movie.

[@duellingscarguevara]

Opium flowers from the east, tobacco and potato’s from the west, and a murderous bunch of pirates, in between.

[@karencawthorn3173]

Its hard to believe this young male actor with Miss O'Hara is the bucaneer himself, Long John Silver!

[@yomama8873]

Thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖

[@frederickanderson1860]

Maureen O'Hara and john ford the quiet man, full of Irish blarney.

[@datasilouk1995]

So much better than the 2014 BBC's version.

[@londongirl1733]

Yes no comparison at all, the sound on the new one was inaudible.

[@gloriadedascalou813]

JAMAICA INN WITH JANE SYMOR SEEMED TO BE ALOT MORE INTERESTING . DO YOU HAVE THAT ONE AVAILABLE ? THANK YOU !!

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Awesome movie. Cold blooded serial killers. Ominous.

[@2ecnub2]

The star of this movie is Charles Laughton’s eyebrows.

[@fixerupper3042]

Lol

Great movie first time seeing this.

for those interested MAUREEN was on this is your life with all her family when she was a young lady

[@HoradoSomOficial]

Tnks for up this. Amazing.

[@paulalexander2928]

Cruel times bred cruel people. Regardless of the times how could the wreckers take the lives of the poor retches trying to save themselves and go to bed that night and sleep soundly?

[@christinamacneal6187]

Tyrants..Still wicked and cruel..nowadays.¥ Godless.¥

[@Jack-ny4ju]

Paul, - cruel times don't make for cruelty; cruelty is always a function of the same thing - not 'bad times' in any Era,- it's people and it's always been people. 'EVIL' are not hard times, - Evil is not misfortune or your upbringing, - EVIL isn't the devil, it's not bad luck, it's not poverty - it's no affliction of life or the world 'out-there'. EVIL is one single cause - it's PEOPLE ! Take responsibility.

[@manueladames5835]

Great actors☆♡

[@adamfilipovic4281]

That would have been a corker back in the day!

Maureen's first major role. Cool.

[@timothythomas7445]

This film has been recommended to me. Why! I'll give it a go. It's grey and miserable outside. Don't let me down Mr Hitchcock.

[@sissytacsiat548]

Enjoyed The Movie!! Thank You For Sharing 😄

[@jonathanpikecoleman8838]

It may have made the 0ne of the Worst Movies List and reviled by Hitchcock and the story's author, I enjoyed it thoroughly!

[@brendaorourke2469]

She was, really something wasn't she⚘❤💋😊

[@nitathomas1691]

The picture is excellent.

[@philosepos]

Can anything be done to improve the volume? Hard to hear, see?

[@mikeoak5289]

Didn't Daphne Du Maurier write "The Birds" as well? I wonder, does Alfred Hitchcock make an appearance in this movie?

[@lindastrang6755]

I wonder how many people died in the making of this film. Tom Cruise looks like a wimp in comparison with these actors.

[@gotohellenwaite6371]

Was the mansion in this movie the same as the one in The Beverly Hillbillies? They do look the same inside.

[@katg6274]

Love Maureen Ohara

[@Luv-evedear]

great movie.. first time watching it.

[@alextaylor8776]

Great old movie.

[@mikaelkenner]

i love it... and very early hitchcock.... glamorous dinning scene... then the entrance of the HORSE.... and then the entrance of the young lady... "can you ride....." why of course, i am daughter of katherine the great you idiots.... don't tell me hitchcock was stupid... and imagine the acting staff even got paid for this!! ha! was this Maureen O'Hara earlier than "The Fallen Sparrow" ?

[@MrMal1956]

This was her first film as Maureen O'Hara her previous film had her billed under her real name of Maureen Fitzsimmons.....M Fallen Sparrow 1943

[@belvederebaileycambodia]

[@ColetteTremblay007]

How many of these actors are still alive? Have they all gone to meet their maker, what would they to us now if they could, I wonder...

[@sewing2165]

I was just thinking that most of the actors in this 1939 film were born before 1919, so if they were alive they would be a 100

Since I read the Scotty Bowers tell all book, I find it difficult to watch anything with mr. Laughton in it.

Thx

[@EricM_001]

Really wanted to watch the film, but the print quality and the fluctuating sound levels kept me from staying with it.

[@mischabe3]

Why is there a storm every time ship comes along?

[@patricebetts6531]

The ship's are sailing from the port of Falmouth on a regular basis. The Cornwall men in the gang wait for a storm to hit then hide the light which then causes a shipwreck.
