Claudette Colbert deserves our respect for insisting on the integrity of the script and taking her spanking ! One of the reasons I hate Hollywood so much is that it has no respect for the writer or his work, and it's too bad that Cooper - who would seem to have the makings of a good spanker - should have conflated spanking with "beating" (as so many others have done over the years, alas).
As to the excellent Gene Barry / Rebecca Welles scene from Bat Masterson (one of the very best on-screen spankings), based on what we actually see in the clip (available right here in the CSR Video section where I posted it 6 years ago), I have to agree with Dan - the story is bogus. I don't believe there was any "cut" in between the time we see Welles go over Barry's lap and the first swat lands - and we do see it land on her bottom - which means she really got smacked !

Re: Men are Like Streetcars
Sometime it hard to believe some of those back story about spankings in movies and tv shows but they are very interesting such as the Actress who starred in The Cisco Kid Beauty And The Bandit wanting a second spanking written into the script and how actresses had to do takes and retakes of spanking scenes and the actress in the film Our Wife had real tears in her eyes when it was over these are very good stories and so call interviews from the actors and actresses of these films and I had to when they stated Actress Brenda Joyce from the movie Public deb no. 1 was called the most spanked actress in hollywood Good reading from these sites on back stories

Re: Men are Like Streetcars
Hi, Butch.
One movie spanking scene that I've always been curious about, but haven't seen anything written about, is the one in McLintock! Did they have to do any re-takes of Maureen O'Hara getting her cute Irish arse paddled? How many times did they rehearse it before they began rolling the cameras? All I've ever heard was a Maureen O'Hara interview years later. She said that nothing was faked and that she was black and blue after the Duke got done spanking her. Did she possibly get more than the six swats we saw on screen?
I know that they had to have done a separate shooting session for the still photos. And how do I know? Well, most of the stills are black and white, but the only one I've ever seen that's in color... ...shows Maureen O'Hara wearing a different corset than the one she wore in the movie. The trim is purple instead of green! Did Wayne give her any smacks during the still photo session, just to get the right expression on her face?
Yeah. I don't believe all of them I've ever read, but some of those behind the scenes stories are fun anyway.butch46163@yahoo.com wrote:Sometime it hard to believe some of those back story about spankings in movies and tv shows but they are very interesting

Re: McLintock Photo
Good photo, B00m!
I wonder about the trim on Maureen O'Hara's corset - could have been that they just had trouble getting the color right? I've head that the studios often had trouble with the color process they used, even though many films had what we think of as gorgeous color, although this doesn't appear to be a still-frame extract. But as I'm sure you remember in the days before digital photography, it was sometimes difficult to get color photographs to come out right. The developer would use a color analyzer and adjust the colors from the negative when making the prints. I had one large-size blow-up made where they got the color wrong, probably because they didn't realize I had it right in my negative.

McLintock Photo
Sometimes colors that look great for Technicolor filming don't have enough contrast for black-and-white stills. That might have been the reason.

Re: Men are Like Streetcars
Here are five "Men Are Like Streetcars" photos that I took directly from their original sources using a commercial newspaper archive. I looked through the three most prominent collections of MALS pictures and as far I know they've never been offered on a blog or forum before today.
