Viva Maria |
Day: Friday March 18 2011 |
Time: 10:00 PM Eastern |
Channel: TCM |
Record number: 298 Title: Viva Maria! (1965) aka Viva María! Medium: Movie Actress: Brigitte Bardot, Jeanne Moreau Description: The Two Marias (Bardot and Moreau) are revolutionaries in Mexico. As the revolutionaries rapidly gain ground - to the catchcry, "Viva Maria!" - the rulers are in a panic. Eventually the church steps in and, using subterfuge (not unusual!), the clerics manage to waylay the two Marias and they end up in a torture chamber. When we first see them as prisoners they are both wearing smart black blindfolds and cloth gags. Soon the blindfolds are removed and the pair strapped and/or chained down (barefoot) on torture benches, with suitable head clamps and the works. They remain gagged. Since this is a comedy, none of the rusty old equipment will work. Meanwhile the powers that be decide the women are to be executed so, while a battle rages in the streets, they are marched up to the courtyard and tied, blindfolded, standing side by side to be shot by a firing squad. Curiously they seem to now be wearing shoes and be dressed in their full finery! Oh well! They are saved at the last minute by the revolutionaries. |

The Big Hit |
Day: Friday March 18 2011 |
Time: 9:40 PM Eastern |
Channel: TMC |
Record number: 488 Title: The Big Hit (1998) Medium: Movie Actress: China Chow Description: China Chow (a beautiful eurasian model) is restrained in various ways beginning at around the 32' mark (with commercials). She wears a schoolgirl outfit -- plaid, pleated miniskirt; starched white dress shirt and tie; and cute little white shoes. She is kidnapped by a gang that includes the benevolent Mark Wahlberg. The gang binds her hands behind her with silver handcuffs, and she is handgagged during the initial scene. After this, her ankles are tied with a white towel, and she is cleavegagged with another strip for a ride behind the back seat of an SUV. Mark ends up keeping her at his house in the suburbs. When they arrive, he cuffs her hands in front around a pole in his basement. Later, he moves her to another house, where he tries to keep her hidden from his fiancée and her parents. Her hands are cuffed behind her and her legs are tied, so she hops around the house mmphing through her towel gag in several scenes. Mark finally puts her in the back of his SUV, parked out of the way in the garage. He accidentally conks her on the head with the hatchback as he closes it. While he is otherwise occupied, the family takes it out for a drive, never noticing the unconscious China. When they return, Mark wraps her in a sleeping bag and hides her in the house while the family leaves again. He ungags her, so she can help him cook, and then cuffs her hand to his so she will be more effective. Sparks fly, and they start to make out, when, alarmed by a possibly innocuous comment (this is one amoral story, so who knows) he makes about "something so beautiful having to die" (along those lines, at any rate), she tries to escape. She is bound and gagged as before and thrown into the small trunk of his Firebird. We don't see her again until Mark goes for a car chase in the Firebird. She is released at the end of the chase. |

Las Vegas |
Day: Friday March 18 2011 |
Time: Noon Eastern |
Channel: TNT |
Record number: 12567 Title: Las Vegas Medium: TV Series Actress: Vanessa Marcil Description: Episode: "Heroes" (4.17) Note: There some additional scenes in "Junk in the Trunk" (4.16) and "A Hero Ain't Nothing But a Sandwich" (5.1) This episode of "Las Vegas", the conclusion of a two-part season finale, has one of the best bondage scenes in the history of television, ranking up there with the "Lost Women" episode of "Vega$". Vanessa Marcil, the gorgeous petite brunette, spends amlost the entire episode bound and gagged. She has been kidnapped by a deranged rich man, incapacitated by a sedative in her drink and bound and gagged in a trunk. To begin with, the scenes in which Ms. Marcil is bound and gagged in the trunk are lit just perfectly by a skilled lighting technician. Despite the crepuscular conditions, visibility is more than adequate, and Ms. Marcil's gag, the strip of duct tape, is perfectly visible. We owe a debt of gratitude to the lighting technician for the series; the man or woman really knows his or her job, and our enjoyment of the episode was enhanced because of this. Secondly, the keyhole in the trunk is used to great effect; Ms. Marcil peers out of it frequently to see who or what was outside, and the light through the keyhole illuminates her gagged mouth very seductively. Potential rescuers are frequently just outside the trunk, but she is unable to alert them to her predicament, since she is gagged. The scene near the end of the episode when she sees her friend and potential rescuer, the security guy, walking just a few feet away, and attempts to alert him by screaming ineffectually through her gag, is priceless. The dastardly villain has done too good a job of gagging her; she can only manage some barely audible whimpers. Her energetic struggling and attempts to make noises through her gag are especially enjoyable. She manages to unlock the trunk through energetic jostling, and wriggles out. The manner in which she's bound is original; her hands are tied in front of her with duct tape, but her wrists and forearms are secured to her thighs; this resembles a form of hogtie. I've never seen any actress bound in this manner. Ms. Marcil manages to remove her gag by rubbing it against the coarse carpeting, make her way over to a telephone, knock it down to the floor, and attempt to make a call, only to have the villain walk in at that precise, inopportune moment. He rushes over to her, ends the call, and then engages in snappy repartee with Ms. Marcil; some of the dialogue is the obligatory admonition "You'll never get away with it." Housekeeping then knocks on the door; the villain immediately applies a forceful handgag, and tells the dedicated housekeeping staff to return later. Ms. Marcil proceeds to scream as loudly as she can through the hand clamped over her mouth. The villain then gags Ms. Marcil with another strip of duct tape over her mouth. Ms. Marcil spends nearly the entire episode bound and gagged; this has to be one of the best scenes featuring a bound and gagged actress in the history of television. One advantage for Ms. Marcil is that she certainly didn't have much dialogue to memorize for this episode; most of her lines are, "Mmmmph! Mmmmmph!". |
