- A widowed farmer wants to marry again and meets, after intensive consultations with his housekeeping woman, with some candidates. None of these girls will appear as the right one and the girls show only little interest in him. Gradually, the farmer realizes that his housekeeper could possibly be the right one for him.
The Farmer's Wife was as a successful stage play in London and caught Hitchcock's interest. He was attracted by the idea to replace the rich dialogue and static stage version with film techniques. Alfred Hitchcock would later implement several of these and similar projects successfully (Manxman, Juno and the Paycock, Lifeboat, Rope, Dail "M" for Murder, Rear Window). Due to the illness of his cameraman John J. Cox, Hitchcock was also forced to take on this role and to shoot most of the film itself. The outdoor shots were filmed in Wales, first performance was in March 1928 in London.
The film has different names in various countries. The original UK title is "The Farmer's Wife". In France the film is known as "Laquelle des trois?", in Italy the name of the movie is "La moglie del fattore",in Portugal it's "A Mulher do Lavrador", in Hungary it's "A farmer felesége", in Finland it's "Farmarin naimakauppa" and in Argentinia as well as in Venezuela the move is known as "La esposa del granjero".
Wonderfully surprised to see this movie!! What a treat
Love Hitchcock!!! 🍁🇨🇦❣
Thank you Cinenet
I can inform you all that the music at the beginning is by Felix Mendelssohn and it is called Ruy Blas. When I watch the whole film, I shall name the other pieces also.
The 2nd piece is an entire symphony: Serge Prokofiev's Symphony No.1.
This is followed by another entire symphony. It is Felix Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4 (The Italian). A complete performance of Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 -(From the New World) follows. The film finishes up with Antonin Dvorak's Carnival Overture.
The music is so beautiful
"The Lord works the same as lightning and don't give warning when He is going to wake sense in a man's heart." Wonderful line.
Thank you for sharing!
Filme muito bem feito no qual um fazendeiro está a procura da esposa ideal e acaba descobrindo que ela estava bem ao seu lado.Uma das fases mais interessantes e criativas do mestre no qual a fase inglesa foi uma das mais interessantes e inteligentes.
Movie well done where a farmer search a wife e find the woman was near to him.Most interesting and creative of the master where english phase most interesting and smart.
Gostei bastante!

Eu também!
I saw that one coming.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Strange music choice. Beautiful in itself........ but hardly fitting for the story.
Ginny Lorenz From what I have seen so far,I agree about the music. I have this in my collection. The version I have used public domain music. It seems to be the same here, but my copies have music that fits and even go along with the movement on-screen occasionally. I was curious to see how they presented it here. I prefer my DVDs.
+Ginny Lorenz I found that in all of his silent films that the music doesn't fit the story...Especially The Lodger
+sally hull I just took a little look at it. Skipped to several places. You are so right! Made me laugh. Thanks for your reply.
+sally hull I doubt this is the original music. I have a copy with a lot of public domain music used as a soundtrack. I believe I have seen at least three different soundtracks for this. The first time I saw it, I watched a VHS rented from Hollywood Video and there was no soundtrack at all. I do not know if the original soundtracks to any of these films are available.
@@gregorymatthews1881 there might have never been any original soundtrack. It's not that common for old films to have them
