Arrrrrr!

Jamaica Inn

(1939)

The movies' best year + one of the movies' best directors = another bland period piece, this one about 19th-century wreckers on the Cornish coast, who lure ships onto the rocks, kill all the survivors, and divvy up the booty. Notable as the first starring role for Maureen O'Hara (playing, guess what?--a spunky young Irish lass!)
