Jamaica Inn 1939 Directed by Alfred Hitchcock

He ruled Jamaica Inn...citadel of sin on the moors, curse-ridden, shunned, reviled. Enough sensations for a dozen pictures. Laughton at his most magnificent.

In coastal Cornwall, England during the early 19th century, a young woman arriving there to visit her aunt discovers that she's married an innkeeper who's a member of a gang of criminals that arrange shipwrecking and murder for profit.
