Record number: 1963 Title: The Gazebo (1959) Medium: Movie Actress: Debbie Reynolds Description: About an hour and 25 minutes in, Reynolds is grabbed by a couple of mobsters looking for a blackmailer's money-and his body, since they know her husband (Glenn Ford) did him in, albeit accidentally. She's shown ungagged and sitting tied by the ankles to a chair, holding her hands behind her as if they're bound as well (as indeed they are, though loosely-the rope isn't visible until later), as the hoods threaten her with torture if she doesn't tell them where the money is (she doesn't know). After they hear the new gazebo in her back yard collapse, the mobsters get a clue as to their friend's final resting place and go outside. Reynolds, still tied to the chair, hops her way over to a phone on a table and then uses her mouth to try to dial police (it's an old rotary dial phone). The phone falls off the table so she works her way down onto the floor, still tied to the chair, to continue to try to dial. The mobsters return, tip her chair over on the side, rip the phone out of the wall, then leave after finding what they came for. Her husband comes home to find her that way, leading to another humorous sequence in which she gets up and starts walking around with her ankles still roped to the chair.
