The Thrill Of The Chase

Today I did a quick scan of eBay to see what I could come up with,  and I found THIS IMAGE that was labelled  ‘1970’s copy photo Ginger Rogers maybe getting spanking unknown film’

Gingers Rogers you say,  huh?

Now if I was a betting man I would say that the actress is actually Priscilla Lane and not Ginger Rogers. Let the thrill of the chase begin.

What is the thrill of the chase? It is having limited information to go on,  in fact in this instance all I had was incorrect information,  and then starting from scratch trying to find the origin of the image and what movie that it came from. In the clip below you can see Priscilla Lane getting spanked in Love,  Honor  and Behave.

So now I have to start from anew and search through Priscilla Lane’s movies to find out which film that this image came from. Fortunately,  in this instance,  I didn’t have to wait long as I found the film pretty quickly. The movie in question is the 1939 film  ‘Daughters Courageous’. The woman with her hand raised in a spanking motion is May Robson.

But did a spanking happen or was this just a staged studio spanking image? It’s a bit of both really. I was able to locate a copy of the film online and while the quality is atrocious,  it was good enough to confirm that Priscilla Lane did slide down the railing and once she had landed she was met with a hearty swat from the Housekeeper. It wasn’t a spanking per se,  but there was definitely one good spank delivered as seen in the poor quality images shown below. Just something else for us to add to the list of one swat spankings in mainstream movies. The reason that I say the image is staged is because the actual swat as you will see took place several feet from the railing.
