Available for the very first time for home viewing, Prudence and the Pill serves up a comic slice of sixties permissiveness from the days when the oral contraceptive was an exotic and legendary devise that few people had any experience of using. Made in Britain by Twentieth Century-Fox, and starring the debonair David Niven and the luminous Deborah Kerr, with vivacious support from 'It' girl Judy Geeson, this film takes us back to 1967's 'Summer of Love', when established morality and codes of sexual behaviour were being turned upside down by new ideas and technology.... So grab a gonk, straighten your mini-skirt and prepare yourself for a bumpy ride courtesy of the imprudent Prudence.

David Niven and Deborah Kerr star in this British comedy about five couples whose attempts to use a birth-control pill are thwarted by those around them. Banker Gerald Hardcastle (Niven) and his wife Prudence (Kerr) are unhappily married. While Gerald has a mistress, Elizabeth (Irina Demick), Prudence is also having an affair with her doctor Alan Hewitt (Keith Michell). Though Prudence is using a contraceptive pill, Gerald switches her medication in the hopes that she will fall pregnant to Alan and therefore mean he will no longer have to keep his relationship with Elizabeth a secret. Meanwhile, three other couples - the Hardcastle's maid and chauffeur, Gerald's brother and his wife and Gerald's neice and her boyfriend - all want to try the pill for themselves but their secretiveness and scheming leads to more pill switching and a number of possible pregnancies.
