Is that like Agatha Christie's 'The Mouse Trap' a novel centered around a murder in a hotel? - @Tuesday, November 14, 2017 4:28 PM

The synopsis of the DVD cover reads "In the dark period drama, a young woman discovers her uncle heads a gang of ship wreckers and murderers under the secret patronage of the local squire, wickedly played by Charles Laughton. Her efforts to stop their evil ways leads her down a path filled with murder and betrayal. Jamaica Inn was the first of Hitchcock's adaptations of Daphne Du Maurier's novels including 'The Birds'. It was also Hitchcock's last film made in the UK before coming to America and the film that introduced the world to Maureen O'Hara." - @Tuesday, November 14, 2017 4:27 PM
