The Manxman (also known as The Manx-Man) is a 1916 British silent drama film directed by George Loane Tucker and starring Henry Ainley, Adeline Hayden Coffin and Will Corrie. It is based on the novel the 1894 novel of the same name by Hall Caine.[1] A second, silent adaptation was released in 1929; and directed by Alfred Hitchcock.[2]
Upon its release in England in December 1916, The Manxman was a financial and critical success.
