  Britmovie - Jamaica Inn 1939
Jamaica Inn will be remembered not so much as a Hitchcock picture as it will a Charles Laughton vehicle.
Mary discovers the Inn to be the headquarters of the pirates and saves the life of one of the men when the band unsuccessfully tries to lynch him.
Nevertheless, the critics were unkind to Jamaica Inn; one called it "a singularly dull and uninspired picture-highly lackadaisical melodrama." For people expecting a Hitchcock picture, it was a letdown, and it was obvious that the director had lost his interest in the property before he completed work on it.

 Jamaica Inn (1939)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
"Jamaica Inn" is one of Hitchcock's more earlier and most irregular [weird, if you like] films.
This dated, very much inaudible and terribly not well-preserved piece from the director concentrates on the pirate attacks on ships near the Cornwall coast in the 1800s, involving theft and brutal treatment, nothing thrilling.
Overall, "Jamaica Inn" is a Hitchcock flop, and the director was probably taking up time before moving to Hollywood where he became an institution for the rest of his career.
