The Manxman is a 1929 British silent drama film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Anny Ondra, Carl Brisson and Malcolm Keen. The film is based on a popular 1896 romantic novel The Manxman by Hall Caine, which had previously been made into a 1917 film. This was the last silent film Hitchcock directed before he made the transition to sound film with his next film Blackmail.
