High Crimes (2002)
Day: Tuesday June 08 2004
Time: 1:00PM E.T.
Channel: Cinemax
Two lawyers defend a former soldier accused of war crimes.
Record number: 6955

Title: High Crimes (2002)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Ashley Judd, Amanda Peet

Description: Amanda Peet briefly tapegagged. Ashley Judd tied up.

In the first hour there's a brief shot of Amanda Peet tapegagged during a home invasion. Scene lasts only a few seconds. I couldn't tell how she was tied.

In the final 10 minutes of the movie, the real killer ( I won't give away the twist) grabs Ashley Judd, firmly clamps his hand over her mouth, drags her into the house. He then ties her arms behind her back and hogties her. The scene is dark and the cuts are quick.
Ashley is wearing a bathrobe and white socks.

Thanks for the alert on this one, been looking for this one a long time. After reading the alert checked out the scene description in Alan Marburger's book and it's far better and longer than the description above would lead you to expect. It's got my appetite wetted. By the way the scene occurrs in the finale, but have now way of knowing when that is.

The Smiling Ghost
Day: Tuesday June 08 2004
Time: 7:15 a.m. EDT

In the last TCM showing, the scene occured at 1:05, give or take a couple minutes. Why is it so hard for people to write down such things?

Another oldie. Elaine Riley tied hands behind, no gag, hands barely visible, at about 30 minutes into this Tim Holt western. Sorry, I don't keep elaborate descriptions in my notes. Yes, this is on TCM, not the Westerns channel.

According to a poster on the Discussion page, in the last 10 minutes there's a blink and you miss it scene of Jessica Simpson with her hands manacled above her head.
