This film was shown as part of the NFTs Quota Quickies season.It has a rather sensationalist title particularly when it is apparent from the film that most of the men are in their underwear and the women in bathing costumes. At the time this film was made there were many purity leagues in existence who thought it was their moral duty to send members to cinemas to view films and report back.In due course the league would prepare a report showing how salacious the films had been.In this film we have a rather prim woman who is shown as the secretary of the League for wearing more clothes! There are some enjoyable numbers feating June Seymour(see more)and her band and some rather broad humour.It is all over in a very quick 36 minutes.Very enjoyable

Eden Philpotts' "provincial" comic novel and play The Farmer's Wife was first filmed in the silent era by Alfred Hitchcock. The 1940 talkie version was directed by Leslie Arliss, son of stage star George Arliss. The story remained the same: A middle-aged widower attempts to select a wife from his rural district's eligible females (Basil Sydney). Three unsuccessful dalliances later, the farmer settles for his housekeeper, whom the audience has been rooting for all along. The Farmer's Wife is a prime example of the sort of fare that struck a proper chord with British filmgoers, but whose appeal would be lost to any other nationality.
