| Sunday October 05 06:21:57 2003 Why is this becoming an epidemic all of a sudden? |
Record number: 2777 Once again, a movie purported by a database entry to contain a scene has been broadcast on a channel known for showing films uncut (TCM in this case), and once again, the purported scene is nowhere to be found. I'll leave the final decision up to the Moderator and the active editors, but my vote is for a peremptory removal of the entry this time. I really don't see any good reason for TCM to excise something as innocuous as a chair-tie of Mike Hammer's secretary in a Mickey Spillane story, especially when they left in Cloris Leachman's (implied) nude torture-by-Channelock-pliers sequence earlier in the movie (for those of you who've never seen it, don't get your hopes up-only Leachman's dangling legs are shown over the sound of her screams; the torturer walks on-camera holding the pliers afterward, and there's absolutely no bondage shown). This has scene creep's greasy fingerprints all over it. Clearly someone saw some other movie with a chair-tie eons ago and misidentified it as this one, in the same manner that Hazel Brooks' cigarette-torture scene at the beginning of Arch of Triumph was once listed on this site's predecessor as actually being in the film Confidential Agent (some of you real oldtimers may recall how this spawned one of our early bum-steer VCR alert flaps). No doubt this was an innocent mistake-aren't all mistakes innocent?-but with years more experience behind us, and with much more in the way of resources available to us, getting to the truth shouldn't be difficult. And while we're at it, let's clean up doubts about these other dubious ones I've previously mentioned but are still in the database: Record number: 6799 Record number: 1556 The first one was on Showtime a few weeks back, with no bondage-or anything that even looked like bondage-whatever. The second appears, at least to me, to be simply a case of wishful thinking. There's a fight scene in which Baxter is briefly shown standing against a tree with her hands behind her, but she is not tied to it. Be there anyone here with evidence to the contrary-preferably on tape or disc so you can rerun it a few times to make sure-speak now or forever hold your peace. |

| Sunday October 05 10:46:05 2003 High Tide |
| Present entry:
Record number: 8910 Title: High Tide Medium: TV Series Actress: Therese Kablan Description: Episode: "Beach Blanket WereWolf" (2.13) It's been a while. Sexy blonde and original Star Search model winner Kablan is involved in some werewolf ruse that sees her bound with rope on a couch? In a bikini? Maybe? Memory ain't what it used to be. Just saw it: Ms Kaplan's character has discovered she turns werewolf at midnight every full moon, and then goes out and kills someone. So, she offers the show's heroes 1000 dollars if they will tie her up. They do it for free (who wouldn't?). We see her tied spreadeagled on a bed with ropes. There's some snarling, struggling and pulling the ropes. Our heroes fall asleep. When they awake she has freed herself and is gone. Ms Kaplan is barefoot and wears a blue tank top and blue beach shorts. No gag. It's good for the scene that the cute blonde does not change physically (no hair on the face etc) Dialogue: Hero 1 (as she snarls and clutches her fingers like claws): "My fantasy about tying a woman to a bed wasn't quite like this". |

| Per's misspelling of the day: I wrote "Kaplan" instead of Kablan, sorry. |

| "IIRC: Duplicate data entry" _________ Record number: 8204 Title: Hart to Hart Medium: TV Series Actress: Stefanie Powers Description: Episode Unknown The Harts are tied, hands behind their backs, back-to-back in bed. The villainess has them untied to make them change into outfits more appropriate for the 'accident' she is planning. When Max shows up next door, she orders her henchmen to retie them, but unfortunately, that occurs off-screen. Mrs. H. is wearing a strapless red gown. ________ Record number: 9171 Title: Hart To Hart Medium: TV Series Actress: Stephanie Powers Description: Episode: Home-Made Murder Stephanie powers tied to a chair with huband. Wrists bound to side of chair and rope wrapped around their bodies. Reaches nail file with her bare foot to cut themselves free _________ Give the description as you recall, and I'll sort it. |
