Event Details

This week's selection is Jamaica Inn.

In early 19th century Cornwall, a young orphan, Mary, is sent to live with Aunt Patience and Uncle Joss who are landlords of the Jamaica Inn. Mary soon realizes her uncle's inn serves as the base for a gang of ship wreckers - who lure ships to their doom on the rocky coast, and Mary begins to fear for her life.

Adapted from Daphne Du Maurier's 1936 novel, this is the last film Alfred Hitchcock made before moving to America, and it is the debut of Maureen O'Hara.

Free admission. Masks required.
