The Bondman is a 1929 British silent adventure directed by Herbert Wilcox and starring Norman Kerry, Frances Cuyler, and Donald Macardle.[1] It was based on the 1890 novel The Bondman by Hall Caine.

The film was made at Cricklewood Studios.[2] Because it was made as a silent film at a time when sound film was taking over it was only able to secure release as a second feature.[3]

Hall Caine enjoyed the final film.[4]
