Trailer Unavailable













     The Manxman
1929  NR  DRAMA  1h 21min
CAST— Carl Brisson, Malcolm Keen, Anny Ondra, Randle Ayrton
MUSIC— Silent  DIRECTOR— Alfred Hitchcock  BASED ON— The Manxman (novel), by Hall Caine

     Truly somnolent soap opera involving a seafaring fisherman, a future judge, and the woman they love. When the fisherman leaves on an ocean voyage he asks the girl to promise her heart to him. But she soon forgets her promise when his best friend comes along to be supportive of his friend’s departure. A relationship develops between the two land-lubbers just before fish-boy returns home. Best friend steps aside while they get married, and nine months later along comes baby, turning this quiet little triangle into a big noisy square. Boring through and through; don’t even think about it.
OUR RATING— *
ORIGINAL— The Manxman (1917)
