The Manxman (1929)
7/10
Hitchcock Got Better!
15 August 2013
This film was much better than an earlier film, "The Farmer's Wife." In this film, the cast included Malcolm Keen (Geoffrey Keen's father). This film has a great cast even I don't know them very well. The story of a young beautiful woman, an innocent, and two men. She was the mistress to a powerful man and marries a young man. They become a family. The story is set on the Isle of Man. The story gets better and intrigue follows the small cast of characters. The courtroom scene is not to be missed. I enjoyed watching this film and see Hitchcock's growing fascination into the macabre that he became best known for but lets not forget his sense of humor and wit. The film is much shorter than the previous mentioned film which helped me get through it. Still if you're a film buff, a Hitchcock fan or student, this film is a must see even with a strange title.
