The Farmer's Wife

The Farmer's Wife 6.1

Hitchcock tried a pure comedy for the first time. Based on a stage play of the same name, Hitchcock tells the story of a farmer choosing a wife and walking around to find that the right person is close at hand. The biggest difficulty in adapting this film is to change the script with many lines into a silent film that purely depends on the picture to express the sense of humor. Hitchcock silently starts from the middle of the film, turning the afternoon tea party into a classic fighting comedy, which makes the audience laugh. Because photographer Cox fell ill in the middle of filming, Hitchcock personally took a cameo shot, and Hitchcock wrote an open letter to the British newspaper to promote the film. this opened the way for Hitchcock to promote himself to his film.
