Master and Man is a 1929 British drama film directed by George A. Cooper and starring Anne Grey, Henri De Vries and Olaf Hytten.^[2] Due to the public's apathy towards silent films, a sound version was also produced in 1929. While the sound version has no audible dialog, it features a synchronized musical score with sound effects along with a theme song. The film was based on the play Master and Man by George Robert Sims and Henry Pettitt, though Cooper is also credited on a novelization published by The London Book Company. It was made at Isleworth Studios.

A manager of a motor works is sacked for being too old, leading him into a bitter dispute with his former employer.
