With: Charles Laughton (Sir. Humphrey Pengallan), Leslie Banks (Joss Merlyn) and Maureen ÓHara (Mary Yelland)
Synopsis: The action is located at the end of the 18th century. A young, orphaned girl, of Irish descent, Mary Yelland wishes to visit her Aunt Patience, who is married to Joss Merlyn, proprietor of "Jamaica Inn". During the trip, Mary meets a Justice of the Peace, Sir Humphrey Pengaltan, who feels strongly attracted to her. Once in Jamaica Inn, Mary realizes, little by little, that the inn is a hideout for one of the smugglers, and that Joss Merlyn is one of them. This revelation puts to Mary in enormous danger and causes both treason and death to come to "Jamaica Inn". Hmmm… sounds like fun!

Re: Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon R. The Movie. Some stories are “forever”… that children’s movie is a futuristic version of Sleeping Beauty… right down to the kiss. So – grab a bunch of kids and take them to see it!
I have been visiting your website for about six months, and as a result my wife and I plan to visit Merida this coming winter! It sounds like this was a great weekend, but I have a practical question–when you quote the price of admission to an event, are you quoting in U.S. dollars or pesos? (For example–”Turix Blue -Vocal Jazz
$30 General Admission”) And if it is in pesos, what is the approximate current conversion rate?
Thanks!
Alan
Hola, Alan!
The $ is used by Mexico to denote pesos too, so when we quote a price here, it is in pesos, unless we follow it with USD (US Dollar).
The current conversion rate is about 11… in other words, 11 pesos to 1 US dollar.
So a $30 admission is about $2.50 USD… such a deal, huh?
Alan – Madam Butterfly is coming next month and the “expensive” tickets are $100 pesos. I nearly had a heart attack because they are so high – and then felt so guilty – those tickets would be hundreds and hundreds of U.S. dollars back home. shame on me!
