Record number: 68 Title: Gilligan's Island Medium: TV Series Actress: Dawn Wells, Tina Louise, Natalie Schafer Description: Episode: "How to Be a Hero" (1.24) Gilligan is depressed over his failure to rescue Mary Ann from drowning-- the Skipper saves them both. Later, Gilligan sees a headhunter on the island, but no one believes him. However, the other castaways decide to disguise the Skipper as a headhunter and allow him to "capture" them so that Gilligan can become a hero. Unfortunately, Gilligan overhears the plan. Meanwhile, the real headhunter captures Mary Ann, Ginger and the Professor. The Howells find the threesome tied hand and foot to stakes. Frond (!) gags cover their mouths, and despite mmpphing for all they're worth, they are unable to warn the millionaire and his wife that the headhunter is behind them. It's a brief scene, but it features a long shot of the three of them-- Mary Ann is wearing her trademark short shorts, and Ginger is wearing a form-fitting dress fashioned from some item from the Minnow ("S.S. MINNOW" is prominently displayed on the skirt) in the background. In a later scene, two more stakes have been added, and Gilligan discovers the five captives tied up. The Howells have not been gagged, but they are unable to convice Gilligan that this situation is anything other than a trick. The real headhunter returns, and Gilligan "plays along" in a mock fight scene. During the shenanigans, there is a close-up of Mary Ann, and several shots in which she is prominently featured, writhing at the stake. (Ginger remains only in long shots.) Finally, the Skipper (disguised as a headhunter) shows up, and Gilligan realizes the truth in time to send his foe into a handy campfire. After everyone has been untied, Mary Ann can be seen holding a loop of the rope. This is from the first season of black-and-white episodes, subsequently colorized, and begins around the fifteen-minute mark. |

Record number: 4277 Title: The Fuller Brush Girl (1950) Medium: Movie Actress: Lucille Ball, Gale Robbins Description: Lucille Ball is out trying to sell brushes. Well, she is mistaken for a babysitter and is left with several kids. After failing to stop the mother, Lucille reenters the house and is lassoed by the kid cowboys. As the real babysitter arrive, you can hear Lucille screaming. As the sitter finds them, Ms. Ball is shown tied to a post of the bunk bed and the kids actually set a fire to burn her at the stake. This occurs about 20 minutes into the episode. Lucille Ball hides in a show girl's dressing room behind a three-section divider. When the show girl walks in, 'Lucy' wraps the divider around her and pins her to the floor by sitting on top of the divider. The show girl opens wide to scream and 'Lucy' jams a powdering pad into her mouth and secures the stuffing with scarves. Then secures her inside the divider with various garments. |
