Anny Ondra - The Manxman

Anny Ondra as Kate Cregeen in her first work with Alfred Hitchcock in 1928. It was his last silent picture. First of two movies Anny made with Hitch. Couple lovers of hers are Carl Brisson as Pete Quilliam and Malcolm Keen as Philip Christian. This scene is very memorable to Cyrano de Bergerac's classic situation.

I got a whole disk set of Alfred Hitchcock DVDs. "The Manxman" and "Blackmail" are among them.

The Manxman was the first movie I watched. And it's the first time I saw the adorable Anna Sophie Ondrakova. It's a Classic & so is Anny.

I am so glad you like it and her :)

What a beautiful print. When I saw this movie, the print was scratched, faded and projected too slow. And the music was awful. "The Manxman" is my least favorite Hitchcock movie, but if I get the chance to see--and hear--it like this, I'll take it.

Thanks for comment, yeah, it is my favorite scene of whole movie :) I have two different DVD editions, the old one is about 10 yrs old and very close to your description. Now I am happy for this one. Great music and picture, right.

Another great, vastly underrated film of Hitchcock's. A visual and emotional high point. Anny Ondra is heartbreaking in it.

I could watch Anny all day, whether the film's silent or in German and a fine singing voice too.  A rare talent and a rarer beauty.
