About The Manxman (1929)

The Manxman is a 1929 British silent romance film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Anny Ondra, Carl Brisson and Malcolm Keen. The film is based on a popular 1894 romantic novel The Manxman by Hall Caine, which had previously been made into a film 13 years earlier.

Two close childhood friends, a handsome but poor fisherman, Pete Quilliam, and a well-educated middle-class lawyer, Philip Christian are smitten with the beautiful and lively Kate, the pub owner's daughter. In Pete's case, Kate is also interested in him, or at least she enjoys having him as a suitor. Pete proposes, asking Philip to make the case to Kate's dour father, Caesar Cregeen. Cregeen refuses to consent to the marriage, because Pete is penniless. Pete decides to go to Africa to make his fortune, so he will be considered eligible to marry her, and he asks Kate if she will wait for him to return.
