| C&P (add times and stuff)
---- Jarod turns up as a lecturer in criminology. His object - to track down the killers of his predecessor, a professor who lectured on criminology and wrote a book on the subject. It seems a couple of members of the class had killed the professor in what they thought was a perfect crime. He left behind a grieving widow and baby son; enough to stir Jarod into action. Jarod traps the pair, giving them drugged drinks. When they awaken (about 35 minutes in without commercials - the knockout is right before it) the guy is tied in a chair while the girl, Claire (Braun) finds herself balancing precariously on a chair with a noose around her neck and her wrists cuffed in front. For some minutes Jarod debates with Claire, who refuses to confess. When he threatens the guy with a gun Claire claims he wouldn't use it so to demonstrate Jarod shoots off one of the chair legs, leaving Claire in a dangerous position. Eventually he kicks the chair away. Ah, our Jarod may want to punish criminals but he is no murderer and we discover that had looped ropes around Claire's body in such a way that she could not hang by the neck. All he wanted was a confession and justice. |

| Record number: 2108 Title: Blue Iguana (1988) Medium: Movie Actress: Eliett, Michele Seipp Description: Pretty short, but nonetheless an interesting scene with these two attractive actresses in an otherwise muddled mess of a movie. After having been subdued by the lead actor, they end up leaning over the kitchen table, their hands tied in front with the rope connected to their equally bound feet under the table. They're both cleave-gagged with bandannas. When their boss ungags the first one, she says something like 'I swear I've never slept with my boyfriend' (?Maybe a hint at her 'kinky' predicament?). Another nice detail: Latina actress Eliett pushing away a tomato (there are vegetables on the table) with her bound hands during her struggles. First, let's get the minor quibble out of the way. The correct film title is The Blue Iguana, according to the convention we're now following. Now for the more serious stuff. Unless someone can provide hard evidence to the contrary, I'm declaring that my initial identification of the actress tied up with Seipp as Katia Schkolnik to be correct. Someone named Eliett is credited as playing a character named Veronica in the movie, but no one is ever referred to by that name in the dialogue. Schkolnik's Mona and Seipp's Zoe are coworkers and "pals" in the movie, so it makes sense they'd be tied up togehter. Schkolnik and Eliett, if she really has any scenes that were left in the finished film, would have to resemble each other enough to be sisters for Eliett to be the girl tied up with Seipp. And it isn't the "lead actor" who ties them up. About ten minutes before the scene, Pamela Gidley accosts them at gunpoint and leads them offscreen. The scene occurs when her partner in crime (James Russo) comes upon them already tied. And only the gags and ropes around their wrists are ever shown. (no "equally bound feet"). When Russo ungags Seipp, he asks her where Gidley's character is, and Seipp replies that she's absconded, prompting Russo to run off leaving the pair still tied, to Seipp's rather profanely expressed dismay, which doesn't include any reference to sleeping with her boyfriend or anyone else.. And while Schkolnik does indeed manage to shove a piece of fruit off the table, it's obviously not a tomato, but more likely something smaller and darker like a lime, perhaps. It should be noted that this scene is maybe fifteen seconds long at best, and the movie isn't broadcast often, so someone getting it this wrong isn't entirely implausible. One more note for completists: Jessica Harper gets cuffed at one wrist to a steering wheel at about 55 minutes in |
