I don't remember this one, but I'll bet Dan does. Looks like a good scene, too - and we all know that naughty flirts deserve to be spanked! I think this film was from 1931, so it's still the "flapper" era, and there was a strong feeling at the time among many people that these wild young flappers should be spanked - and of course we here at CSR agree

I'd love to do a feature on flapper spanking, but I think all the material I have from that era is already out there. There is a spanking reference in Fitzgerald's great story "Winter Dreams" but it doesn't actually take place - I suppose I should document it over in the "Spanking in Drama and Literature" forum, and perhaps I will eventually.
We might also ask why there wasn't more flapper spanking when it clearly was needed - perhaps the spanking of the flapper by anyone but an older authority figure would have been considered too erotic for the time. The "problem" of erotic spanking prior to the mid-1950's is a subject I'll take up when I finally get around to writing my history of the spanking cartoon.
