Trivia
On his Radical FIlms YouTube page, director Robert Carl Cohen says, "Unable to find distribution for an over 2 hour long melodrama originally titled 'Tender Grass,' the investors contracted Robert Carl Cohen to reedit and commercialize it. Cutting out the slowest portions, adding the character of the town floozie, strip tease on a motorcycle, sex, title cards, etc., Cohen's transformation enabled it to be distributed as 'Jenny - Wife Child.' "

Goofs
Jennie shakes a fly off her calf while rolling in the hay with Mario.

Thoroughly Entertaining Grade-C Movie

With only a microscopic budget, Jennie Wife Child accomplishes what most movies do not. This strange, original film follows Jennie, a beautiful 20 year old woman who is married to a much older grouch. There happens to be a young, studly, and dumb farmhand who works on their property...craziness ensues. Shot in black and white, with enthusiastic acting, and a quick moving, sordid story, JWC takes the escalator to cult status by adding a catchy corny soundtrack of cool original songs and using silent-movie type title cards throughout the film while still taking all the goings on quite seriously. If you like these kinds of movies, you should really enjoy this tasty trashy classic.
