THE RING (1927)
1927, Rialto, 108 min, UK, Dir: Alfred Hitchcock
Director Alfred Hitchcock was a boxing aficionado, and his first original screenplay is set in the ring. “One Round” Jack Sander (Carl Brisson) takes on all comers at the circus until he gets decked by a pro (Ian Hunter) and must fight to regain the affections of his girlfriend (Lillian Hall-Davis). Highly accomplished cinematography, editing and use of symbolism mark this as one of Hitchcock’s best silents.
Restored! 85th Anniversary!
THE MANXMAN
1929, Rialto, 100 min, UK, Dir: Alfred Hitchcock
An innkeeper’s daughter (the luminous Anny Ondra) falls in love with a lawyer on the rise (Malcolm Keen) but agrees to marry the man’s fisherman friend (Carl Brisson) – whose temporary disappearance complicates all three lives. Anchored by a darker love triangle than that of THE RING (which also starred Brisson), this drama is set on the Isle of Man and was shot in Cornwall, displaying some spectacular scenery.
