Critic Reviews

Wesley Stenzel

Hitchcock's final fully-silent film is one of his greatest early works. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

A love triangle played out on the Isle of Man is the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's last silent film, THE MANXMAN, an uncharacteristic example of Hitchcock with tongue out of cheek. Read full review

Mordaunt Hall

The British silent pictorial translation of Sir Hall Caine's novel, "The Manxman," is filled with enchanting scenes and the story itself is quite well told. Read full review

Dave Kehr

It’s no masterpiece, but it’s certainly something to see. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

The Hall Caine novel from which this film was adapted is a weak one, but the director has done his best with it. Read full review

Geoff Andrew

Its story is accordingly old-hat...but Hitch makes the most of his locations (although the film is set on the Isle of Man, it was shot in Cornwall), while the frequent use of shots taken through windows anticipates the interest in voyeurism in his later work. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

The point of the film is to strike a blow for truth regardless of consequences, but it's hard to believe in this seduction. [11 May 2000, p.F36]
