A wealthy, widowed farmer, Samuel Sweetland, decides to remarry. He hasn't got any particular woman in mind and asks his housekeeper, Minta, to recommend suitable women from the village. He courts the women on the list but nothing seems to work out.
An Alfred Hitchcock romantic comedy. Yep, that's not a term you hear too often and having watched this I can see why. Admittedly this was in Hitchcock's early, silent era, years before he became the master of the thriller and was still trying his hand at all sorts of films.
I use "comedy" quite loosely as it's really not that funny. The film is quite conventional and dull and the plot, especially the ending, is very predictable.
The version I watched also had no sound at all - no score even - making engagement even more limited.
Only worth watching if you're determined to watch all of Hitchcock's films (as I am).
