Loving these silent Hitchcock reviews-- so few people on UA-cam seem to bother with anything this early in his career and I appreciate the analysis and humor of your observations. I wasn't able to finish The Farmer's Wife when I originally tried watching it, though that may have been because the library's copy was on one of those "Early Hitchcock Collection" DVD sets, where all the prints used are blurry and borderline unwatchable. I would love to find this film in watchable quality, even if it's decidedly not Hitchcock's finest hour.
I highly recommend the Kino Lorber Blu-ray set (Hitchcock: British International Pictures Collection). It not only has The Farmer's Wife, but The Ring, Champagne, The Manxman, and The Skin Game in sparkling restorations with new scores. They've never looked better!
Nice naration! good job!
