In this particular film, he's just too hammy.The original novel had Laughton's character as a hypocritical parson, but for American distribution his character was changed to a local nobleman.Then again he was the co-producer of this so no one was in a position to tell him anything.As Jem and Sir H leave the room, the DVD cuts to Mary, Patience and Joss at Jamaica Inn.Maureen O'Hara arrives at the Jamaica Inn on Great Britain's Cornwall coast to stay with her aunt.The whole idea of this innocent among the cutthroats not knowing who to trust would definitely have appealed to Hitchcock.Robert Newton and Emlyn Williams have roles of substance here as well.The Inn however is the headquarters for a gang that wrecks ships on the coast, kills everyone on board and steals the cargo.There are elements of Jamaica Inn that certainly might have appealed to Hitchcock.

In Cornwall, 1819, a young woman discovers she's living near a gang of criminals who arrange shipwrecks for profit. With Maureen O'Hara, Robert Newton, Charles Laughton, Horace Hodges.Directed by Alfred HitchcockTogether with his wife Julie he decides to make a new start and they move.In spite of Seymour's beauty, represented by her long hair and hooded cape costume and best observed when she listens, she works against her romantic look to make Mary anti-romantic, rebellious and afraid to let herself love Jem.Seymour uses the region accent and gives Mary harsh yells, tears at her father's funeral and in a close-up before she blows out a candle, a duplicitous smile to conceal Jem's illegal behavior, twitches her left eye when Jem kisses her for the first time, scratches the face and hits peddlar Harry (Michael Goldie) with a rock when he tries to rape her, trying to stab Joss, and her bloodied hands shake after finding someone dead.Instead of going back home to the USA, he stays in Paris with several other wounded souls; some have been.It also helps that every other man who has designs on her is repulsive, and even the Vicar sends mixed sexual signals in a scene of them in a carriage together where he tells her to undress out of her wet clothes.

While not as technically inventive as some of Hitchcock's other work before or since, I felt it was made with care and presented a realistic, gloomy atmosphere of doom with its endless night time scenes and constant soundtrack of howling winds and crashing waves.Hitchcock and his writers seem infatuated with the lifestyle of the thugs.JAMAICA INN is adapted from a Daphne Du Maurier novel and was his last English film.But it hit me in a whole different way: IT WAS LIKE A HAMMER FILM.Don't get me wrong.The film is built around Laughton and he chews the scenery most wonderfully.Any ways, people said that this didn't have the mood, atmosphere, and suspense of the book.A lot of people complain that it wasn't quite like the book.Jamaica Inn is an early film and here you see a fine looking Newton with the longest, darkest eyelashes I have ever seen on a man. and Trevor Eve in Jamaica Inn.
