Overview

Fox Farm is one of a very few surviving films by Guy Newall, an ambitious actor-director who aimed to produce quality domestic films based on Ibsen-inspired naturalistic acting. Industry journal Kine Weekly commended Newall and his co-star Ivy Duke for performances that were “natural without being commonplace, dramatic without being unnatural”. The English, almost Hardy-esque pastoral scenery is beautifully photographed by Hal Young.

Based on the 1911 novel by Warwick Deeping, Distributors Stoll Film Co. commissioned the film in its Eminent British Authors series from talented filmmaking partners George Clark and Guy Newall.
