Prudence and the Pill

1968 · 92 min

A frothy, farcical bedroom romp where everyone schemes politely and nobody really gets hurt; light, dated, and gently naughty.

Tagline: A sportive look at the fertility rites (and wrongs) of Western society.
Overview: Prudence Hardcastle is on the pill. So is her sister-in-law, but someone has been swapping aspirin for their pills. Is it the teenage niece, the maid, the chauffeur, a lover, Prudence's husband Gerald, or all of the above?
How it feels: Light, satirical, whimsical and campy. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Love, deception, family, sexuality
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
