Escape in the Fog
Day: Sunday December 08 2013
Time: 5:10 AM Eastern
Channel: Movies!
Record number: 7785

Title: Escape in the Fog (1945)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Nina Foch

Description: Mystery/espionage potboiler starring William Wright as the stalwart hero and a young (yes, she was young once) Nina Foch as the leading lady. Anyhow, near the end a surprisingly cute Nina is handgagged briefly by the dastardly Axis spies and tied to a chair in a basement. Wright captured shortly thereafter and confined in the same room. Interestingly, he's chained by one ankle to the far wall and allowed to wander around almost freely within the room as the two await seeping gas to fill it and explode, killing them, but the chain isn't long enough to reach Nina's chair. She sits there in apparent comfort (though not gagged, darn it) and makes no attempt at hitching the chair closer to him so her bonds can come within his reach. They converse, confer and commisserate, but it's just as if her bound condition is an everyday thing for them. I like it! Finally, they are rescued (after Wright flicks his cigarette lighter without incinerating them, somehow) and the good guys release her, but there are no verbal attacks on Wright for failing to do this immediately upon being locked in with her. If only all gals were so cooperative and easy-going, eh?

Enter the Ninja
Day: Sunday December 08 2013
Time: 1:45 PM Eastern
Channel: MGM
Record number: 441

Title: Enter The Ninja (1981)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Susan George

Description: First, she is tied between trees, arms outstretched, with a black cloth gag over the mouth. Later, she is set up as bait for the Ninja, hands tied behind her back and a black cleave-gagged, both with black cloths. At one point she makes a break for it and races down the steps on high heels with her hands still bound behind, but she's quickly recaptured. Some pretty good closeups.

Into the Blue
Day: Sunday December 08 2013
Time: 11:40 AM Eastern
Channel: MGM
Record number: 11623

Title: Into the Blue (2005)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Jessica Alba aka Jessica Marie Alba

Description: Towards the end of the film, Alba is captured offscreen and is being held captive on a ship. During a phone call to one of her friends, she is shown from above the shoulders in a close-up seated next to her captor. Duct tape has been wrapped once around her mouth, and her hands are bound behind her (no visible bonds at this point). Such is the tightness of her wraparound gag, the tape even covers the lower part of her ears; in a nice visual touch, she turns her head to the side for us to get a good view of it.

As the phone call ends, we still see her from the same angle whilst her captor indulges in a typical bad guy monologue. She becomes teary-eyed as he makes his threats, then shoots dead a fellow captor in front of her, which prompts a muffled scream and some wide-eyed mmpphhs (some of his blood manages to splatter onto her face and shoulders, but it's not particularly graphic). Only once is she shown briefly from further away, from the waist up, as she remains seated.

A while later, she has been moved offscreen to an area below deck. Now only handcuffed by one hand to the aforementioned dead captor's body, the sequence begins with her lying on her stomach (she was most likely knocked out) and slowly trying to pull herself up using her free hand. Lots of good, well-lit full-body shots close-ups as she stares dejectedly--and still tightly tape gagged--at her aforementioned friend who has come to save her.

From hereon she spends about a minute struggling to free herself. First she rips away the tape from her mouth, then starts to laboriously drag the body across the floor in order to find something to cut away the handcuffs. A large knife winds up doing the trick, which she uses to hack away the guy's hand (thankfully it cuts away just before).

Attire-wise, our perpetual damsel Alba wears an attractive striped tanktop with spaghetti straps, as well as light blue jeans. She is also barefoot, which is shown extensively in the second part of the scene.

Rockford Files
Day: Sunday December 08 2013
Time: 6:00 PM Eastern
Channel: MeTV
Record number: 1819

Title: The Rockford Files
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Robina Suwol, Rebecca Balding

Description: Episode: "Dwarf in a Helium Hat" (4.7)

At about 12 minutes Ms. Balding's character is handgagged, then briefly carried over the back in an abduction attempt that Jim Rockford breaks up.

At 26 minutes Robina Suwol's character is seen seated and forced to make a telephone call, apparently tied but a facial shot only. Between about 37 to 39 minutes she is seen tied to a chair (thick rope around her upper body, probably hands behind) and gagged with the mouth-fillingest white cleave-gag you're likely to see for a while. Wearing brown cardigan/sweater, times for 1 hour broadcast with adverts.
