Comments on: The Greatest Spanking Scene Ever Filmed http://www.spankingblog.com/2007/05/31/the-greatest-spanking-scene-ever-filmed/ Adult Erotic Spanking At Its Best Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:11:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lentimano http://www.spankingblog.com/2007/05/31/the-greatest-spanking-scene-ever-filmed/#comment-54595 Lentimano Fri, 15 Feb 2008 17:06:04 +0000 http://www.spankingblog.com/2007/05/31/the-greatest-spanking-scene-ever-filmed/#comment-54595 My son's had Turner Classics' series of wall-to-wall Oscar movies tuned in as background accompaniment to our painting the house this month. In 'Meet John Doe' there's an extended scene in which Gary Cooper describes to Barbara Stanwyck a dream he's had in which he breaks up her wedding to one of the movie's bad guys. He's himself coming to rescue her, and he's also the JP conducting the ceremony, and they take turns--smack!--spanking her, I suppose to shake her off her mistaken path. Throughout this description, Stanwyck is moving nervously around the room they're in, clearly thinking, "Omigod, this guy really is nuts," or "So grab me already and pull up my skirt, ya big lunk ya!" The frequency of adult spanking scenes (or threats of spanking) in old movies seems like an accommodation to the Hays Code or whatever censorship was in place: if the script called for a man to declare his sexual interest in a woman, he'd haul her across his knee and start whacking away at her. Much easier and more acceptable to stage than a rape scene, with the addition of a touch of humor (except for the gal on the receiving end of the touch).

It seems it was a once off take and to get it just right Wayne actually spanked her hence you will see the look of total disbalief as he tells her just what's going on. True story Paddy P.

It's too bad John Wayne didn't spank her on her bare fanny. That would have been even better to see. A woman needs a good spanking once in a while.

But other than McClintock and Donovan's Reef, I don't remember any others. That is except for being given a switch, with no spanking, in The Quiet Man. Please if someone can tell me others I want to know the movies names. Everybody always talks/writes about the number of spankings that John Wayne gave his leading ladies.
