This is one of four movies on an Alfred Hitchcock collection.  (Confusingly, the other Alfred Hitchcock collection at my library is filed under "Hitchcock" rather than "Alfred.")  The film is based on a Daphne Du Maurier novel, but the story, about Cornish smugglers in 1819, is much less interesting than Rebecca.  (As it turns out, I gave a C- to the 2015 BBC adaptation as well.)  The head smuggler's niece was 18-year-old Maureen O'Hara's first major role.
