The Spanking (1937)

Cast

Albert Préjean, Mireille Perrey, Claude Dauphin, Armand Bernard, Marguerite Moreno

Overview

A husband, exasperated by his wife, spanks her without paying attention to the open window in front of which he is. He is annoyingly surprised to discover the next day that the scene has been photographed by a neighbor, and that the image is circulating in Paris. A debate then ensues: is this an opportunity to call for revolt or a welcome manifestation of marital authority?
