Futureworld
Day: Thursday August 27 2009
Time: 2:15 AM eastern
Channel: Turner Classic Movies (TCM)
Blythe Danner bound.
Record number: 966

Title: Futureworld (1976)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Blythe Danner

Description: In a dream sequence about an hour and 10 minutes into the movie, her character imagines herself running down a stairway and through a series of corridors to get away from Yul Brynner's gunslinger character from Westworld, to which this film is a sequel. She opens a set of double doors and is grabbed by several masked figures dressed in red, who fasten her into a cross-shaped frame with her arms outstretched. The gunslinger comes upon the scene and proceeds to blow away the red guys, then stands before the frame as the scene dissolves into a room in which Danner stands before him with her wrists bound in front with a red sash. He pulls the sash away and they embrace.

Women's Prison
Day: Thursday August 27 2009
Time: 2:30 PM eastern
Channel: Turner Classic Movies (TCM)
Phyllis Thaxter bound in a straitjacket.
Various women gagged (but not bound).
Record number: 4084

Title: Women's Prison (1955)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Phyllis Thaxter, Gertrude Michael, Mae Clarke, Mary Newton, Unknown

Description: Early women-in-prison flick has a strong B-movie cast featuring Ida Lupino as the demented warden, and Jan Sterling, Howard Duff and Cleo Moore in supporting roles. About fifteen minutes in Thaxter, a good-looking short-haired brunette, goes berserk while in isolation on the first night of her sentence. As she screams and struggles, and as Lupino looks on maleveolently, two grim-faced matrons enter her cell, bundle her into a straitjacket and escort her to a padded cell where she spends the rest of the evening.

Later in the film, after an inmate (Audrey Totter) dies of injuries inflicted by Lupino during an interrogation (she was slapped and beaten, but not bound), the prisoners decide to get revenge and at an hour and five minutes a number of matrons are shoved into a cell detective gagged, but apparently not bound. Michael and Clarke are credited as playing matrons; Newton is listed by the IMDb as an uncredited "laundry matron."

An IMDb reviewer states it's a good camp movie for a Friday evening if you stumble upon it on cable.

Lone Ranger
Day: Thursday August 27 2009
Time: 3:30pm est
Channel: World Harvest
Thu 8/27 3:30-4:00pm 367 WHMBSAT
Record number: 1508

Title: The Lone Ranger
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Lois Hall

Description: Episode: "Embezzler's Harvest" (3.34)

The Ludlows embezzle the county's irrigation project funds, murder Tim Dillon and plant evidence to implicate the old man. The Lone Ranger suspects the true villians and convinces Madeleine Dillon (Hall) to help him trap the bad guys. Madeleine is such a bad actress that she is immediately suspected and she and Tonto are captured by Charlie Ludlow (Leonard Freeman). When Martin Ludlow arrives, he sees Tonto and Lois chair-tied and detective gagged with bandannas. Before the crooks can finish off the good guy and gal, the Lone Ranger lures them away from the house, Tonto manages to cut his bonds with a disgarded knife and races to the rescue.

Madeleine's arms are bound to the sides of the chair with an addition couple of loops around her chest. Tonto's bonds are much more realistic, including ropes around his chest, elbows, body and wrists, all knotted together in the middle of his back. Unfortunately, the close-ups are of Tonto struggling, with no establishing shots of Madeleline registering fear, concern or anything else.
