Calamity Jane and the Texan
Day: Saturday March 31 2012
Time: 1:45 AM Eastern
Channel: Encore-Westerns
Record number: 3602

Title: The Texan Meets Calamity Jane (1950) aka The Judge Has an Alibi aka Calamity Jane and the Texan
Medium: Movie
Actress: Grace Lee Whitney aka Ruth Whitney

Description: Roughly 55 minutes into the film, Cecelia Mullen (Whitney) appears sitting in a chair bound with rope and loosely gagged with a red bandanna after "Calam" (Evelyn Ankers) kicks open the door to her room after hearing Cecelia's mmphs in response to her knocking on the door. Look closely as the rope is removed, however, and you'll see that it was only wrapped around Whitney's chest and each of her upper arms and neither bound her to the chair nor was tied around her wrists, although she makes a spectacle of rubbing them after pulling them from behind her.

Perry Mason
Day: Saturday March 31 2012
Time: 5:05 AM & 6:20 PM Eastern
Channel: Encore-Suspense
Record number: 2691

Title: Perry Mason: The Case Of The Telltale Talk Show Host (1993)
Medium: TV Movie
Actress: Alex Datcher

Description: Ms. Datcher plays a cop who gets nabbed by the bad guy while posing undercover as a prostitute. She's bound wrists-behind-back and gagged on-screen with silver duct tape and left in a basement. Later on her streetwalker friend comes downstairs, wakes her up and quickly takes the gag off. Neither scene is very long at all, and the lighting isn't great (the bad guy shuts off the light when he goes upstairs), but she is gagged on-screen and lets out a nice 'mmmmmmpph' as her mouth is taped. Also both scenes with her have decent but quick closeups. A great example of quality over quantity in terms of a DID scene.

Incidentally, this TV movie was Raymond Burr's last performance as Perry Mason.

Action begins around the 65' mark and ends about 90' in.

Ties That Bind
Day: Saturday March 31 2012
Time: 6:00 AM Eastern
Channel: LMN
Record number: 12014

Title: Ties That Bind (2006)
Medium: TV Movie
Actress: Nicole de Boer aka Nikki De Boer aka Nicole DeBoer aka Nikki de Boer aka Nicole deBoer aka Nikki deBoer

Description: This made-for-Lifetime movie is a cautionary tale about *not* renting your guest house to psycho/nurses. (Always a sound policy.) Nicole plays Megan, the lawyer/wife, & Brian Krause (Leo on "Charmed") plays the doctor/husband. Sonya Salomaa plays Courtney, the psycho/nurse.

In the last 15 minutes, Megan (dressed casually in jeans, t-shirt, sweater, hoodie, & boots) goes to confront Courtney in the guest house. Courtney pulls a syringe and Megan fades to unconsciousness as the movie fades to commercial. When next we see Megan, it's a closeup of her face. Silver duct tape is tightly plastered to her lips. The camera pulls back, & we (& she) discover she is spreadeagled to Courtney's bed (fully clothed as before), in leather medical restraints. Much struggling and m'mmpfhing ensues, in one of the best gloating scenes I've seen in years. Courtney to Megan: "It's no use fighting. I use those to restrain PCP freakouts." No closeups of the restraints, but we can tell she's really helpless. Numerous closeups of her tape-gagged face, and we can see that the tape is well-adhered to her face. A small sliver of tape repeatedly balloons as she pants & tries to scream. VERY convincing Damsel-in-Distress. Meanwhile, Courtney-the-psycho nurse is delivering a chilling monologue. At one point, she climbs on the bed and rests her head on the same pillow as Megan, & the director gives us a dual closeup. Nicole does an *outstanding* job of selling Megan's plight. Courtney delivers a second injection, & again Megan fades into unconsciousness.

Later, something strange but wonderful happens: When hubbie comes to rescue Megan, her bonds have been changed! It's still the same hospital restraints, but now her wrists are cuffed together and to her ankles, and an additional of pair are strapped now around her elbows! The elbow cuffs and ankle cuffs are strapped to the bed and the wrist/ankle junction is a double "Y" of straps joined with rings. (I believe this is called "four point restraint" by nurses (psycho and otherwise).) Hubbie rips off the tape and frees her wrists and elbows, then Megan does a crunch and frees her ankles. Then it's off to the climax!
