Near the beginning of the 1969 motion picture "Midnight Cowboy," the protagonist Joe Buck (played by Jon Voight) is caught by police having sex with a young woman in his car, then there's a quick flash of him bent naked over the hood while getting a moderate spanking from his middle-aged mother. Only 2-3 smacks from her palm are shown before the scene cuts away, as I recall.
(That was the first X-rated film to win an Oscar for Best Picture, although its rating was later changed to make it R-rated.)
When I viewed the movie a second time, perhaps a decade later (I originally saw it in the early '70s), that brief F/M spanking scene had sadly been removed... --C.K. |
