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.
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!
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!
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!
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....
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.
Hitchcock's choices of angle and lighting are, as always, superb, but Laughton's sneering malevolence throughout manages to outshine even that. Brilliant.
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.
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.
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.
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 🌹
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
"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".
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).
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Hitchcock expressed his disappointment with the film even before it was finished, stating that it was a "completely absurd" idea.
Introducing Maureen O’Hara? Fantastic
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!
Wow! Hitchcock, Laughton, O'Hara! Twists and turns! This movie is totally top notch!
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you 🍕🍕🍕
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!
One wonders if the building still exists ey ! bomb proof almost.
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!
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.
Alfred Hitchcock , Charles Laughton two of the best in film, great movie

This is one of my favorite movies! Bought it in dollar store for, you guessed it! $1 😂
Thanks for the upload!
Harry the Peddler has to be the inspiration for characters like Bond's Dario, Clockwork's Alex, and Mad Max's Toecutter. The original.
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.
Yummmy and I agree ! Man I could go for a couple of em right now .

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. 🙂
You mean the BOOK was inspired by duMaurier's stay at the inn !
It still exists?
Hitchcock's choices of angle and lighting are, as always, superb, but Laughton's sneering malevolence throughout manages to outshine even that. Brilliant.
One of the classic 😊🍿
Charles Laughton was superb! Like always...
That fat little gaylord was spot on
Brilliant. How young Robert Newton was. Died aged 50.
Maureen o'hara was Ireland's greatest star of her day
And America great actress Style and grace some thing ur born with
She was easily one of the 2 most beautiful women of the 20th century.
Agreed 👍
Any day
what a great movie!!!!!!! Thank all who put this together...
I love these old movies they take u to a place u this lifetime can not make up
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.
Great loved it .thank you. Loved Robert Newton as long John silver when I was a child
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.
2 more of his that I love are "Young And Innocent" and "The 39 Steps". Also "The Lodger" is superb.

I Really Like Her!! Forever .
Thanks so much for posting this. Maureen will always be one of my top 5 Actresses.
Same here.
I stayed in western ireland one summer ,only bloody thing to watch was this ,nice!
Great movie to see again, I have watched it many times on DVD years ago. Thanks for sharing this classic old flick.🎥
Many thanks for uploading this great old film!
This one was excellamt! I really enjoyed it. No flip-flops on the story.
Brilliant HItchcock movie. Charles Loughton was wickedly hilarious and my favourite character. "CHAAADWICK!" Poor, long-suffering Chadwick 🤣😂
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.
R.I.P Maureen O'Hara...one of the first classy red head in the movie business.
+mizu88KA
One of her earliest appearences in a movie, only 19 at the time .
So young to play a D.I.D
Susan Hayward was also a classy red head January 20,2021
Maureen O'hara will always be my favorite actoress.
First time seeing this wonderful film. Thanks for sharing it
Wonderful! Thank you!
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.

You take it in the.but don't you?
Thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
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.
Wow! Classic. Charactors!
Some great iconic names associated with this
Had a pint down the Jamaica Inn last week, its changed a bit but the price of a pint is robbery! ( Great film thanks.)
that's because pirates own it ...sorry couldn't help it

Charles Laughton was SO overboard in this movie I can't believe it.
When he played Herod in a film he told the world the Script was not Biblical correct ...
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).
a true MONSTER movie.

Hi beautiful
I love this black an white too
I've read the book many times.
Thank you for posting the movie.
This movie was quite a time piece. The footage was pretty good,
For whatever reason, one of my favorite flicks. It has been remade a # of times.

Rebecca was her best novel and my favorite film☺
"Birds" amongst them.
I haven't read the book... please tell me how this differs from it. Very curious!
Please post the 1935 Mutiny On The Bounty with Charles Laughton and Clark Gable. Charles Laughton is tremendous.
Opium flowers from the east, tobacco and potato’s from the west, and a murderous bunch of pirates, in between.
Great movie first time seeing this.
Charles Laughton a pirate in a few movies☠️🏴☠️
So much better than the 2014 BBC's version.
Yes no comparison at all, the sound on the new one was inaudible.
Its hard to believe this young male actor with Miss O'Hara is the bucaneer himself, Long John Silver!
That would have been a corker back in the day!
The star of this movie is Charles Laughton’s eyebrows.
Lol
The first boat that wrecked was on a three hour tour..
Tnks for up this. Amazing.
Awesome movie. Cold blooded serial killers. Ominous.
Maureen O'Hara and john ford the quiet man, full of Irish blarney.
JAMAICA INN WITH JANE SYMOR SEEMED TO BE ALOT MORE INTERESTING . DO YOU HAVE THAT ONE AVAILABLE ? THANK YOU !!
Very fine picture!
Enjoyed The Movie!! Thank You For Sharing 😄
for those interested MAUREEN was on this is your life with all her family when she was a young lady
Maureen's first major role. Cool.
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?
Tyrants..Still wicked and cruel..nowadays.¥
Godless.¥

Great actors☆♡
Jah-meah-kah inn, mon
Great acting, suspens just a Fine classic.
Leaving dear Chadwick suddenly unemployed.
She was, really something wasn't she⚘❤💋😊
Can anything be done to improve the volume? Hard to hear, see?
It may have made the 0ne of the Worst Movies List and reviled by Hitchcock and the story's author, I enjoyed it thoroughly!
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.
The picture is excellent.
Shame the print and resolution is unwatchable. It's a great story... and Alfred Hitchcock....
"Make way for Sainy Gallant"!!!
Loved the grabbler;)
Filme no Brasil sem legenda em português, sem condições 😡
great movie.. first time watching it.
Why is there a storm every time ship comes along?
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.
Plot Development
Was the mansion in this movie the same as the one in The Beverly Hillbillies? They do look the same inside.
parabéns assisto estes filmes e indico a todos
Love Maureen Ohara
Pourriez-vous mettre des sous titres ?
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...
O'Hara lived until 2015 and passed at 95 years old. She was 19 in this film.
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
Alfred Hitchcock invented the Jock strap
Didn't Daphne Du Maurier write "The Birds" as well? I wonder, does Alfred Hitchcock make an appearance in this movie?
After watching the ship wreck, i was reminded why I hate computer generated graphics.
and I was reminded how I became so seasick some years ago. 😁
@AMT 😆
Does any one know where this film was made
North light Studios in Huddersfield, Crow Edge ( Penistone in Bardsley), St James Church in Bradford , Farnley Tyas, Tong and Keighley.
the year i was born march 20 1939
I can't believe you are still alive!
🍺😎👍
Really wanted to watch the film, but the print quality and the fluctuating sound levels kept me from staying with it.
Yay that was great
Wasn't Maureen ohara beautiful
Great old movie.
Instead of commandeering a car he commandeers a stage-coach !
