Still Yet Another Movie Spanking
Here’s a publicity still of W.C. Fields spanking Gracie Allen with his cane. I don’t know what movie this is from, but it looks entertaining!
Update: Vanilla Spanking resolves a slow dispute in my comments: this is from International House. In a larger version of the photo, you can even see the hand-written label:
The film was “International House,” made in 1933. Although I am not ancient enough to remember it, I’ve seen this picture before, and I’m pretty sure it was represented as a publicity still, not a scene. But, not having seen the movie, I can’t be sure that was true.
One thing I am sure of is that a goodly number “movie spankings” appeared in the lobby posters but not in the movies. Hollywood hucksters have apparently always known that Spanking Sells.
i heard it was from the movie ” The Pharmacist ” but as well i am not sure about it.
