This comedy was inspired by the ancient English custom of the “Dunmow Flitch”.
The historic market town of Dunmow, England is famous for the Dunmow Flitch, a mock trial to find the married couple epitomizing fidelity by proving they have had thoughts of no other for a year and a day, with the winning couple receiving a flitch of bacon, especially welcome and hard to come by during the post-war era.
The arrival of a young new maid threatens the marriages of the men of Dunmow just before the annual festival and the awarding of the fitch.
