Speaking of publicity stills, here is an odd one. This is yet another scene from the British production "The Ups and Downs of a Handyman" (1976). We see old Bob Todd spanking the young and lovely Ava Cadell. Ava does not seem the least bit unhappy about her "ordeal." Quite the contrary, she likes it! Here's the story:

The plot of this film calls for the village squire (Bob Todd) to indulge his fetish of finding girls to spank. He even wanders into the countryside on horseback, looking for spankees the way a game hunter searches for foxes in the underbrush. The movie shows him finding, and spanking, a young schoolgirl stripped to her underwear, FOUR (4!) different times. We see the spankings but we never see the young woman's face. What's that all about? Maybe the British censors didn't want to deal with public fallout that might protest that the girl is "too young" to be seen getting spanked on screen.

Anyway, the film was released and quickly became a favorite in the spanko community. A bit later it was revealed that the spankee (supposedly a "schoolgirl") was played by Ava Cadell, 20 years of age at camera time... and here we can see her lovely face.

By the way, Web-ed, thank you for submitting a comment here. Honest to God, I was on the verge of deleting this whole post for lack of interest. This subject has come up many times, but I continue to feel offended -- even insulted -- if I go to the trouble of creating a relevant message (especially one with pictures) and nobody posts a follow-up comment within a reasonable time.

I apologize for being one of the people who didn't comment "within a reasonable time". It had been so long since anyone had posted to this thread that I had stopped checking it. Sometimes I get frustrated too when one of my posts doesn't get an immediate response, but keep in mind that not everyone checks this site every day.

I've never seen The Ups and Downs of a Handyman, but the stills look interesting. Thanks for sharing these pictures.

And that brings us back to the seemingly insoluble problem of "lurkers". The fact is there are many people who will come here or to the main site to see what we have but won't comment on it. Probably nothing could convince most of them to come out of the shadows, and there is the further deterrent of having to send me an email before their membership on this board can be activated because too many spambots keep trying to register (and successfully reading the captcha, which always amazes me!).

If I just let anyone register without approval, the spambots will overwhelm me with their stupid spam posts (it takes a lot of time to track down their web host providers and file a complaint to try and cut them off at the source). But by forcing new users to take the additional step of sending me an email, I discourage those who really want to comment right away. Still no solution to this dilemma that I can see.

Hi... Not sure if we have already covered this topic on this forum, but here are two (2) publicity stills showing the petite MGM star June Allyson being spanked over the knee of her co-star. Only one of these spankings actually made it into the films she was appearing in, but I have long had the feeling that little June enjoyed getting spanked for real. Just something about her perceived attitude. Or, in my case, maybe the wish is father to the thought.

In this first shot, June is spanked by Van Johnson in a publicity still for their film "Too Young to Kiss" (1951). She is actually seen getting spanked in the movie itself, though in a different background.

Image

And here, June gets what looks like a disciplinary spanking from her co-star David Niven, in their film "My Man Godfrey" (1957). No actual spanking in the film, but again... I think she liked it. :D

Thanks for posting these, Dan, and for the copyright notice. I can't remember if we've seen them or not. I really should catalog all the movie spanking stills that everyone has posted, but I simply haven't time for another project like that right now. I also need to check if anyone has posted the spanking still from She Wrote the Book, because that one was actually printed in two Humorama publications! (And yes, we'll be seeing them whenever I finally get around to doing a series on Humorama's non-cartoon spankings - there were several, and I believe I have them all. :)

Hiya Web-ed... Thanks for your commentary. Thanks also for mentioning my favorite movie spanking of all time, the walloping of Joan Davis, by Kirby Grant, in Universal's "She Wrote the Book" (1946). This one is my favorite, partly because the over-the-knee positioning is pretty much perfect, and Joan Davis (who almost definitely enjoyed being spanked) elevates her fanny while she is over Grant's knee. This is an open-palm handspanking, and I've got to believe that Joan told Kirby to really "lay it on..." and he DID!

Cheers,
Dan

Hi Dan,

Thanks for posting these. I find them very enjoyable to look at :D . I guess I haven't seen this one although I don't know how I missed it. I'm going to try to find this somewhere so I can see it. I especially like this one because of the school girl type socks and shoes that she's wearing, which seem to go nicely with the title of the movie :D . I don't know if June liked getting spanked or not but I always like to allow myself to think so 8-) . It seems we think Alike in these matters ;) . Your knowledge of these mainstream movie spankings seems to be quite superior and I'm glad you've made a study of them. Thanks for sharing these with us. Phil

Back in 1948, this publicity shot probably gave tons of spankos a near heart attack. It is a photo of a spanking that did NOT happen in the movie, but the pose is so perfect, you kind of sort of got the impression that it should have happened. All you students of OTK spankings, feast your eyes on this pic. Kirk Douglas pretends to spank his co-star Laraine Day over his knee... and a prettier spank photo we'll never see. Whoever put these stars in position for the shoot, must be a great fan of our favorite pastime.

The film is called "My Dear Secretary" (1948).

My Dear Secretary

Post by web-ed »

An oldie but a goodie, Dan :D . Laraine Day is gorgeous and her expression is just perfect. What a pity there was no spanking in the movie.

Here's a wild idea: does anyone think this still might have been the inspiration for all the secretary spanking cartoons that began appearing in 1955 in men's humor magazines? The first Humorama OTK "spanker" involved a secretary, and in a few weeks when we resume Rivals of Humorama, we're going to be seeing two more secretary spankings. One of these Dan posted several years ago on this board, and I have positively identified its source, while the other one has never been seen on the internet as far as I know and is now the earliest known secretary spanking cartoon.

Hi Dan,

That is indeed a great pose and I thought the fact that she still has her pad and pencil in note taking position was hilarious :lol: . I like web-ed's idea that this might have been the inspiration for the humorama spankers :D . We'll probably never know but it's an interesting idea. It could be that spanking your secretary is such a natural idea that this pic encouraged artists who were already thinking along these lines. Phil

Speaking of good over-the-knee spanking photos, this one from The Iron Maiden (1962) got a lot of attention back in the day. The India-born Brit Michael Craig put American actress Anne Helm over his lap and walloped her gorgeous behind for trying to sabotage his eponymous steam engine. This spanking is really in the film, though some of us wish it could have lasted longer. My recollection is that Anne gets only four quick swats, then it's over. Nevertheless, this OTK picture has been praised for its wonderful positioning.

I liked the picture so much that I recreated it, cartoon style, here.

As usual, I claim NO copyright ownership of this image. Okay, maybe my drawing. But the photograph might be protected by copyright law elsewhere.

As I recall, Dan, that scene from Iron Maiden was a good one (I'm sure it was in your old Cinema Swats video series, still available by the way). But I like your cartoon version better as it is idealized (and the spankee's skirt is raised) :D .

Hi, Dan. Sorry I didn't comment on this one right away, but lately, I seem to get interrupted every time I log on to C.S.R.

I've never seen the whole movie, just a short clip of the spanking scene. You're right. It's way too short. I read somewhere that the spanking is mentioned later... but I can't confirm it.

Anne Helm looks gorgeous in the posed still! Thanks for finding such a nice, clear, high-resolution copy!

I like your "cartoonized" version of the still too.

hi Dan,

While this is a great photo from the movie, I think the modifications you made in your drawing are superior :D . I much prefer seeing the spankee with her dress raised and the seat of her panties sticking up..........not that this is a surprise to anyone :lol: . Thanks for sharing this. Phil

As we were saying earlier in this thread, the movies used to bring us scenes where a naughty woman or girl is getting spanked. It happened in hundreds of films, and almost always there would be a "publicity still" of that scene issued, to the press and to private collectors.

The very first screen spanking that I remember seeing is this one, from the Paramount production "There's Magic in Music" released in 1941. I probably caught sight of it about 20 years later, on one of those TV channels that would screen old movies late at night. The spanker here is Allan Jones, and he is spanking Susanna Foster, a young actress whose primary talent was singing, in a glorious soprano voice that was justly celebrated in the middle years of the 20th century. Susanna was best known for her portrayal of the young diva "Christine" in the 1943 version of "The Phantom of the Opera."

Image

The spanking scene in "There's Magic in Music" was very, very good. Jones sits down, puts Susanna over his knee, and whales away with his bare hand. I forget how many swats are seen to land, but my recollection is that there were plenty, by motion picture standards. Fifteen or sixteen, I think. Oh by the way, you may know that this film went through a title change later, to "The Hardboiled Canary."

I copied the spanking scene onto my drawing board, and you can see the results here.


Image

Neither the Chicago Spanking Review nor I claim any ownership rights to the photo above. It is probably still under copyright by Paramount Pictures.


Cheers,
Dan

Hi Dan,

I must say that I like your version of this much better than the original photo since it shows the young lady's dress pulled up, exposing the seat of her panties to the hand of the spanker :D . This is, of course, exactly how it should be 8-) . Thanks for sharing this. Phil

Dan and CSR Friends
I have always been captivated by this particular still that offers a good representation of the actual spanking that takes place in the movie. I am particularly attracted to Miss Foster's facial expression that not only captures her mid-spanking angst but also shows the rather unique results of her head having been recently and repeatedly dunked into a bowl of soapy water. Wow Dan! your copy is exquisite to say the least. You've managed to remove the unnecessary clutter while enhancing the image of the adorable spankee. Thanks for sharing.

I was considering doing a bit of research on "Hard-Boiled Canary" a film that bombed at the box-office and almost immediately thereafter became "There's Magic In Music" at the insistence of the film's star Allan Jones. But I really can't top the research that Harry of Vanilla Spanking has already accomplished. Although the October 2016 post I link you to provides information on a variety of movie spankings, of importance to our current discussion is the fact it contains, at several points, interesting details about Susanna Foster's spanking in the 1941 movie [Including a clip].

I'm surprised to find I didn't comment on this one earlier. I don't remember the film but perhaps with Sweetspot's link I can download a copy of the spanking scene and re-code it for CSR's readers. Thanks for ferreting it out for us, Dan.

Alan Jones looks to be an effective spanker, but he should be remembered also for his fine singing voice and for appearing in the Marx Bros. film A Night at the Opera. He was also the father of singer Jack Jones, still alive as of this writing I'm glad to say. :)

This is sort of a "publicity photo". It's a still of a spanking session from Firm Hand Spanking featuring Belinda Lawson turned over Richard Anderson's knee. Of course the most intereting thing about this posed photo is that Ms, Lawson has a lovely backside. It's just beginning to redden under Mr. Anderson's hand.

Something else of interest here is that, although they were involved in an actual spanking video, this picture was clearly posed. There is none of the motion blurring you'd see in a single frame of a film or video. (That is one thing I like about posed stills: no motion blurring) So how is her hair flying as if she's tossing her head wildly? My guess is that there must be a powerful fan just out-of-frame.

I really like this still!
