Jamaica Inn was Hitchcock’s first adaptation of a Daphne du Maurier novel. He later made the renowned thrillers thrillers Rebecca and The Birds from her stories. The film is a tense and atmospheric tale of thieves and cut-throats set in the rugged Cornish coast. Mary (Maureen O’Hara), an orphan girl, goes to live with her Uncle Joss (Leslie Banks), landlord of the Jamaica Inn. Working as a barmaid at the Inn, Mary discovers that her uncle is the head of a gang of pirates who prey upon wrecked ships that have foundered in the the heavy seas.
