In this dramatic comedy gem, we get a rare glimpse into Hitchcock's silent film era. Farmer Samuel Sweetland, unsuccessful at finding a bride, is secretly loved by devoted housekeeper Davies. The screenplay was written by Hitchcock, based on a play by Eden Philpotts. Includes a newly recorded music score.
A silent comedy by Hitchcock showcasing fluid camera movements and elaborate emotional visuals, THE FARMER'S WIFE is filmed like a thriller, utilizing photography that suggests a German influence on Hitchcock. This adaptation of a successful play by Eden Phillpotts follows a widower who lives on a farm with his housekeeper and is combing the countryside in search of a wife, blind to the attachment his housekeeper has developed for him.
Samuel Sweetland (Jameson Thomas) is a condescending farmer who finds himself all alone. His wife has died, and his daughter has just gotten married. To find a new spouse, Sweetland and his housekeeper, Minta (Lillian Hall-Davis), make a list of the women who live nearby, assuming that any one of them would kill to be his bride. But farmer Sweetland is in for a big surprise--and his ego is in for a major bruising--until the lovelorn Sweetland can acknowledge that he is secretly admired by his housekeeper. Gordon Harker gives an amusing performance as the old farmhand in this faithful adaptation of a play by Eden Phillpotts.
