Subject: One of Hitchcocks's worse...
I'm a big Hitchcock fan, but this is - and critics say the same - one of his worst works. It's a bit dull, hasn't much suspense, and your expectations from the first minute - a journey into the abyss of darkness - are dispappointed in the end. Laughton is an amusing guy, but doesn't into his role; his character is boring, also. The finale of Jamaica Inn is disappointing, too. If you're a real Hitchcock fan, you will have to watch this once; but just to know it and surely not again. Everybody else, take The 39 Steps or The Lady Vanishes in Archive.org; even Stage Fright, also very unknown, can be recommended.

Subject: Hitchcock is excellant
I wish to comment on the reviewer before this one. This is not Ms. O"Hara's first film. Her first was an RKO's presentation with Mr. Laughton
entited , "Hunchback of Norte Dame". It is an excellant Mr. Hitchcock has chosen, "Jamica Inn".
I have seen it on nummerous ocassions and the film is worth burning for disc. Unforunately, the version of MPEG 4 is too large for a consumer's DVD for such an operation. As in Topic of Capicorn and Stage Fright as well. CouldIA make some version of Hitchcock alittle more conivenent to download&burn. It would be appreciated. Five stars for the films mention and two for the inconvenicence for burning.

Subject: Recommend
I found this movie on video a while back and quite enjoyed it. The dialog at times was a little hard to understand, the acting was good.
Just a few weeks ago I picked up the book at a thrift store. Read the book after watching the movie, it's worth it. I think Hitchcock could have done a lot better with the adaptation but standing alone it's decent.

Subject: I only slept through the dull parts
Charles Laughton is marvelous as usual as a pampered delusional nobleman, and Maureen O'Hara is very young (well it's her first picture) and righteous. It fills the bill if you're just half watching it.
