The Manxman (1929)
7/10
Pretty good, for an old Hitchcock film
23 April 2020
Two men, one a fisherman and the other a lawyer, who have been friends since they were children, both fall in love with the same woman. Another love triangle film, but this one is a little different to The Ring because one of the men is not aware for most of the film that his friend is in love with the same girl he is. It's also less predictable than The Ring, but maybe not quite as entertaining. The characters are fairly compelling, and the performances quite good also. Unfortunately, Hitchcock doesn't have a lot of opportunities to inject the film with his traditional style, but the film's fairly good despite this. 6.5/10
