Jamaica Inn

Jamaica Inn was boring. Which really surprised me, as a huge fan of Hitchcock. And it's not like he hadn't made classic films before or immediately after. It's like he was trying to get through the movie as quickly as possible, with as few characteristic Hitchcockian flourishes that might accidentally mean he had to spend more time watching Charles Laughton work broader than the Sahara Desert. Plus, what was up with Laughton's eyebrows? They looked really really fake. And Maureen O'Hara had little to do besides walk around in a wet dress thing for a few minutes and look stressed. Robert Newton should have stuck to being a pirate. All in all, just really disappointing for a Hitchcock. And I think that I got the movie confused with Under Capricorn for a really long time.
