| The Perils of Pauline |
| Day: Friday September 28 2001 |
| Time: 2:15 p.m. EDT |
| Channel: TCM |

Record number: 1124 Title: The Perils of Pauline (1947) Medium: Movie Actress: Betty Hutton Description: Somewhat comic look at silent-screen heroine Pearl White, played by Hutton. The first instance of bondage, about 20 minutes into the movie, contains a rather offensive element. Portraying White as a live actress early in her career, Hutton appears in blackface as a slave maid, running onstage to warn her master of Civil War Union forces approaching. Behind the curtain afterwards, she pulls her hands out from under her apron to reveal them bound, as a result of the clumsiness she'd shown in a previous role. About 20 minutes later, after she's been discovered by Hollywood, there's a memorable one-minute sequence of re-enacted clips from the famous serial, intercut with humorous signs for the audience. Hutton is shown lying on railroad tracks, her hands tied together in front and roped to stakes beside the rail-her ankles are tied together and apparently restrained, but to what isn't shown-struggling furiously as a locomotive rapidly bears down on her. Just before it gets there, the screen goes white, then flashes the message, "One moment please to patch film". A few seconds later, she's tied standing to a tree in a burning forest, followed by a "No Smoking" message. Next she's spreadeagled in chains-shown only from the waist up-as a rack of spikes lowers itself onto her, as a baby starts to cry on the soundtrack, which brings the message, "Will lady with crying baby please take it outside!" The sawmill episode follows, with Hutton bound to the log with rather thick rope. Just as the whirring blade starts mussing her hair, the clip ends with, "Ladies please remove your hats". Finally she's shown on her side, hands tied in front, apparently bound somehow to a vertical timber in front of her, amid cans of black powder and a case of dynamite with a fuse quickly burning down as she struggles. About ten minutes after this sequence, Hutton and her male co-star are shown filming an episode in which they're tied standing back-to-back in the basket of a balloon, but rather loosely-which comes in handy when the balloon gets away from the ground crew before the pilot can sneak aboard. Incidentally, Hutton is shown roped and cleave-gagged on the box of some video releases of this film, but is never gagged in the movie. |

Title: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Medium: TV Series Actress: Alexandra Johnes, Charisma Carpenter Description: Episode: "School Hard" (2.3) Bad little rich girl Sheila Martini (Johnes) is having a bad day. First, she blows off all her dates and now she's kidnapped by vampires and dragged to their underground lair at the cemetary. Sheila's wearing a black sleeveless blouse. Her wrists are bound over her head and she's tightly cleave-gagged by a thick white cloth. She's left that way for an extended period before the vampires cut her down, menace her, then turn her into a vampire. Very nice scene. Meanwhile, Cordelia (Carpenter) and Willow witness the transformation. Cordelia nearly screams, but Willow handgags her so she doesn't give away their location. ___________________________ @10:35pm FAM (Rogers ch 51) Title: Black Beauty (1971) Medium: Movie Actress: Uschi Glas (as Ursula Glas) Description: Captured by the bad guys, she's B&G in a barn (feet tied, hands behind back, over-the-mouth gag with a black bandanna).

Record number: 3085 Title: Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Medium: TV Series Actress: Teri Hatcher Description: Episode: "Ordinary People" (#3.2) (1995) Around the 45' mark, Lois is seen chained arms above to the wall of a cell. This is a relatively short scene. Shortly after, she's shown seated in a chair, with crossbows arrayed around her. She may be bound to the chair, but I can't be certain. Her arms are down at her side over the chair arms, and she never raises them, but I couldn't discern any restraints. |
