The Farmer's Wife is a 1928 silent film directed by Alfred Hitchcock.



The plot is very linear: a rich widower farmer, his only daughter married, decides not to be alone anymore and gets help from the housekeeper (Araminta), to draw up a list of candidates. He, however, points to four spinsters who will reject him. Our protagonist, seized by desperation, is saved in the happy-ending in which Araminta, who has always been in love with him, falls into his arms.
