5.0 out of 5 stars Historical Cinematic Treasures From The Vault Of "The Master", June 7, 2010

This review is from: Jamaica Inn / Easy Virtue (DVD)

Jamaica Inn"(1939)*****

The talent combined in this 1939 film is immense. Based on a novel by Daphne Du Maurier,Alfred Hitchcock - in the last of the early British films before he started making films in the U.S. - skillfully directs an extraordinary cast,all turning in strong performances that bring the characters depth and the story to life.Marueen O'Hara is amazing in her first feature role, showing us way back then what made her the great star she has been all these years. It also stars other great British actors Lelsie Banks,Emlyn Williams and Robert Newton. But it is the legendary Charles Laughton who you can't take your eyes off of in this thriller. The depth with which he portrays his multi-faceted character is simply awesome.

The story is set off a rugged coastline.A group of dangerous cut-throats are misguiding innocent vessels, causing them to crash into the rocky terrain,so they can loot all the cargo.When young and beautiful Mary(O'Hara)is on to them, she risks life and limb to try and stop them. She turns to the only one she can trust..Sir Humphrey Pengallan(Laughton)for help. But yikes!... has she even endangered herself further with this move? He may be the most deranged of all!

Where's Hitch?....Although he made an appearance in the one before this one("The Lady Vanishes"/1938) and the one after("Rebecca"/1940), he seems to have eluded us in this one!

The 2nd feature is "Easy Virtue". ****
This was a silent made in 1927.Don't look for suspense or horror in this one. It's a great drama though, and you'll still recognize Hitchcock's signature in it.

Larita is an innocent woman whose name and reputation is dragged through the mud after a nasty divorce. The publicity of it all makes her infamous. She tries to start her life anew, marries and must deal with some very nasty mother-in-law problems while trying to live down her notoriety.It is based on a play by Noel Coward. Isabel Jeans plays the misunderstood woman in question.

Where's Hitch: You got me!. I can't say that I saw him in this one, BUT- I did spy a portly man in a suit walking off a tennis court(very strange) but only from the back so...

Treasures from the cinematic vault of "The Master".
Enjoy.....Laurie

I was very surprised to find that Easy Virtue was a silent movie but it was a good movie & easy to follow.

And Jamaica Inn was really good
