RMeingast Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Friday, Oct. 19, 2012, is the BFI's (British Film Institute) world premiere their restored 1929 Alfred Hitchcock silent film "The Manxman," starring Anny Ondra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anny_Ondra), Carl Brisson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Brisson), and Malcolm Keen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Keen). BTW, a "Manxman" (Manxwoman) is someone from the Isle of Man. I knew a Manxman at university (not the one from the silent film... ), for example, quite a character he was.
