If I owned the movie (which I should but, sadly, don't), I would show you a picture. However, MovieSpanks over at YouTube has the clip along with nine others in his list of the top ten spankings of the 1980s. Lady Jane is ranked seventh (?!) and as the list is M/F F/F oriented, it's also lacking one of my other favorite spankings, the paddling in Dead Poets Society.
Um...right, I can't help it; one of the spankings in his list takes place on a plane and all I could think of was, hey, Spanks on a Plane...
So back to Lady Jane. It came to mind just now as I was looking at a household catalog online and came across this:
I know! You can own your very own Lady Jane bench for less than $25!
The castle and costumes needed to make the recreation complete, however, might set you back a bit more.

I saw that seen, but not the movie. HOT! As for that bench...wow, talk about hiding your spanking toys in plain sight! No one would ever know! :) And at that price, maybe I'll ask hubby for one for my birthday.
Take care,
Lele
Oops, I meant "scene" not "seen."
Nobody saw that, right?

The movie is okay though by the end of it I was ready for them to chop her head off already (it's an historical event - I'm not spoiling it). But the spanking scene (I didn't see nuthin') is exquisite. I remember rewinding and playing it in slow mo a dozen times to get every last detail down.
And yeah, the best part is this is totally vanilla furniture!
I like that Dead Poets Society scene, too. My favorite is the opening scene of Flirting, when you don't really know why the main character is being caned, though you have a pretty good idea it's unfair. During the punishment, he's looking down at a copy of "The Great Australian Loneliness" or something like that as a snail or slug curls up into a ball on top of it.
Wow, what a great find! That really is something, and for under $25 too. Totally agree too about what the top spankings of the 80s should have been.

What a fun furniture find! My husband and I (ever since long before we were even a couple) have always enjoyed trips to IKEA--for very little money, one can enjoy simple furniture seemingly MADE for spanking! We finally made it out to the new one by the airport and found something that only be a sex/spanking bench. There is literally nothing else it could be used for!
As for "Lady Jane:" *sigh* If only Helena Bonham Certer would submit to some sort of punishment in all her films... even in the most recent Harry Potter film. Oh, for Alan Rickman to be caning Helena Bonham Carter.... I would die. I would just die.
Indiana -- You know, I'd never heard of this movie (Flirting) until you mentioned it in your delurk at S.S.S and I so want to see it now!
Todd&Suzy -- I do think there probably is some caution that should be paid to furniture that is less than $25 as often, well, ya get what you pay for. But it does look nice in the picture. :-)
Oh, and totally hear ya about the ranking. I'm still shocked at the missing DPS scene.
Abby -- I do love Ikea. Indeed, I wrote a spanking story in honor of Ikea's opening this summer that I think I'll go ahead and post tomorrow. A.'s been teasing me about my furniture porn.
Oh and if HBC was ever spanked by Alan Rickman, I dare say one, Adele Haze, would die along with you. As well as a few others I suspect. ;-)
That scene is burned in on my memory. Others, like a scene between John Wayne and Maureen Sullivan where he hits her with a frying pan, were relatively tame, but still fun to watch. Love watching old movies and suddenly you're treated to an unexpected spanking scene!
Cheers,
Michelle
Oh it's burned into mine too. Sure, the rewinding and watching it over and over again probably had something to do with that. Then in slow-mo. Then regular speed. Then slow-mo again. Practiced positioning myself over the arm of the sofa exactly the way she bends over the bench. Then slept on it and watched it again when I woke up...
But it was such a cool scene. The acting was amazing. The birch was so absolutely evil looking. Plus, it was done in front of several female members of the staff. Not to mention the king shows up at the end. I mean...yum, yum, yum!
Oh and that scene in McLintock is cute. And definitely creative in its use of implements.
I too admit to fantasizing about historical spankings... Instead of trousers, I'd be wearing a dress (and petticoats? depends probably on exact era). A stern governess would inform me that my bad behaviour deserved punishment.
I'd be bent over a bench, or be made to kneel on a bed, then my dress would be pulled up, showing my behind (or I'd be asked to disrobe?).
Then I would get either the birch, or that little household whip that the French call a martinet and that was apparently in common use for naughty children until the 1980s...
Or maybe the governess would simply draw me across her lap and spank me like a little girl.
Little point too: I would certainly not want to be spanked as hard as Lady Jane! To me, a spanking should hurt somewhat, should be humiliating, but I would not like to have wounds from it. Rosy or red behind, yes - weals, big bruises, blood, no.
Yes, historical spankings probably fascinate more than any other. And, indeed, it's probably why I went on to become an historian professionally, or, you know, would have been professional had I not become ill.
And I love the fantasy you shared! Strict governess, martinet, petticoats...mmm mmm mmm! Thanks so much for taking the time to share it with us!
Another historical scene that fascinates me is the clyster - the really old-style enema from the 1600s-1700s.
First scene. I'd be around 16 year old. I'm waiting in my room, with a slight churn in the stomach because I'm awaiting an inevitable fate: I'll be soundly purged.
Maybe I complained of constipation, or of a stomach ache, and I'm awaiting relief. Maybe I was cranky and I pretexted a stomach ache.
A servant, or a governess?, enters. She's carrying a pot of warm water. She also carries a kind of bag tied at her waist.
I cannot help thinking that when the cook gets asked for a pot of warm water by that maid carrying that bag, she must know that somebody in the household is gonna get purged... Not to mention the little maid that will get summoned to empty the chamber pot afterwards.
From under my bed, my servant fetches a big chamber pot and two small rolled-up rugs. She unrolls the first rug and places the chamber pot on top of it, besides the bed.
She then arranges the pillows on the bed, unrolls the second rug behind them, and I'm told to assume the position. I climb on the bed, my upper chest rests on the pillows, my knees rest on the rug apart from each other and my behind points upwards. I'm used to that. I've pulled up my dress when climbing, so my servant only has to finish baring my behind.
I hear her rummaging in her bag. I hear her removing the cork off her jar of grease. My body tenses when she pulls apart my buttocks and applies the grease to my little hole. Another dollop of grease and I'm told to "push" - I feel her finger going it.
She then fiddles with the syringe, greasing it. I see her filling it from the pot of water. I'm told to push again, and the nozzle enters my behind. Then, slowly, I feel warm water entering my body.
At the end of the first dose, she massages my stomach a little bit.
Then, the second dose. Massage. A third dose.
I'm becoming quite full and I complain about the pain.
I'm told to relieve myself... I do not wait before sitting on the potty. A deluge of water and poop exits my behind. I think I'm done, but as soon as I stand I feel the urge to go more.
Finally, I stand, bending slightly. The servant has wet a small cloth and quickly cleans up my behind. She then tells me to assume the position again so that she finishes cleaning it.
She asks me how I feel and look into the potty. Will she suggest a second round?
Second scene... I've been cranky and disrespectful and I pretexted a stomach ache, but my parents, or my governess, did not "buy" the story.
Not only will I get a spanking, but I'll also get the purge.
I've "assumed the position" like before, however, instead of preparing the clyster syringe, my servant readies the martinet. I get a good dose of it.
I'm told to stay in position and not to touch my flaming behind. I'm then given my purge.
Instead of turning her head away from my pitiful person while I'm on the potty, as normal, my servant has me expel right in front of her.
I'm back in position for the cleaning. It comes with a twist - her large right hand puts a finishing touch to the punishment by smacking my rear cheeks alternatively.
I'll never again lie about my health to excuse my bad behaviour.
Another well-known spanking is from a French classical novel, later turned into a film, called l'Assomoir.
At one point, a woman sees her husband's mistress in a public washing hall, where women wash clothing by beating them with a kind of paddle. The mistress taunts her. A brawl ensues. Finally, the cuckholded woman gets the upper hand and pins her opponent to the floor. She then pulls up her opponent's skirt and pulls down her pantaloon, showing her buttocks, tighs and "everything" to the female assembly. She then proceeds to paddle the other woman methodically.
She only stops when the other women pull her away. The confused, ashamed, weeping, and red-faced adulteress leaves quickly.

An appropriate punishment for a woman who not only steals another woman's husband, but also taunts her for it.
This is the washing hall brawl scene:
At 4'40" into it, the public paddling on the bare begins.

Note that this is a mainstream movie. They say the US version censored the brief view of the bare buttocks.
Oh my, that film clip was excellent. Cat fighting and spanking. A. will be thrilled! Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
And I'm fascinated by enemas too -- a lot of the old pictures do seem to romanticize the whole thing a great deal for me. I think it combines both a feeling of being dominated and as well as being childlike and taken care of -- two big aspects of my kink.
Your fantasy was a wonderful one! You should start your own blog and share more with us!
A blog? Maybe. But I fear I would not have enough fantasies or stories to tell...
I like that paddling scene. I would not want to experience that hard of a paddling - with her heavy tool and the force with which she hits, the recipient is likely to get big bruises and risks a fractured tailbone. I once had muscle bruises following an accident and they can take weeks to heal.
But, yes, assuming softer hits, the scene is exciting. I'm not into catfights, but a young miscreant being pinned to the floor, her skirt raised (can't do that with trousers, not at least without some collaboration of the recipient, I guess), the buttocks bared, and paddled by a righteous woman in front of a jeering crowd of other women... Maybe a pause at the end so that the audience admires the redness of both the face and the rear end!
I've long found enemas fascinating too - as you say, a mixture of domination, humiliation and care.
Ever experienced one for real?
(I have, and I can assure you that, besides the kinky aspect, they are really efficient when you are really plugged up down there.)
Oh I think you'd have plenty for a blog -- and I don't doubt it'd be a great one!
As for enemas, well, I think you found the post where I talk about the enemas I've had. And they weren't for kinky reasons either. :-(
Its a great post..well done..i really like it..
