Set in 19th-century Cornwall, this tale of a young woman who visits her aunt, only to discover she`s residing in a haven for throat-slashing pirates, is one of Hitchcock`s lesser-known films. A period melodrama, the film features an excellent Maureen O`Hara in one of her earlier roles. JAMAICA INN is based on Daphne Du Maurier`s famous novel of the same name.
