Dinner of Just Desserts

‘Dinner of Just Desserts’ is a 38-minute movie produced by Archive Video, which may be related to Strictly English, about 1999.  The movie features Ivor Gold, Kara-Jayne Dempsey, Suzi Jarman, a black woman called ‘Pam’ and four others, one of whom I recognize but can’t identify.  This movie is hard to find but the DVD is currently available from www.belrose.eu.

I recently posted filmographies for both Kara-Jayne Dempsey and Suzi Jarman.  Neither would be described as a ‘leading figure’ among British spanking movie actresses but both made some good movies, both were featured in a movie that is one of my personal favorites (‘Teacher’s Folly’ and ‘Spanking the Teacher’ respectively) and both appeared in ‘Dinner of Just Desserts’ which I have been researching recently when I was looking for the dates of the movies that they made.

There are two questions that I still trying to answer about ‘Dinner of Just Desserts’: who made it, and when?

First, who made it?  I first found this movie, divided into 8 parts, on Spanking TV a dozen or so years ago.  The now defunct Spanking TV website is archived on the Internet Wayback Machine and a section of the listing for ‘Dinner of Just Desserts’ is below.

That listing gives the producer as ‘Archive Video’ as does the DVD that I bought from Belrose more recently, but I’ve never heard of Archive Video and I can’t find any information about the company on the internet.  I’ve seen several sources that say this is a Strictly English movie.  That could be true but I’m not sure because I haven’t been able to find it on any list of Strictly English movies.  On the other hand, the Strictly English page on the Spanking Art Wiki says:

Strictly English is a British spanking video producer in business since 1995. … In its early years, the studio had a close relationship with Red Stripe, using some of the same actors and sets in similar scenarios (e.g., Good Girl, Bad Girl and Bare Bottom Punishment).

‘Dinner of Just Desserts’ features Ivor Gold, the owner of Red Stripe, along with Kara-Jayne Dempsey who appeared in three Red Stripe movies made in 1998 & 99.  The setting also looks like something you might see in a Red Stripe movie.  So, maybe ‘Archive Video’ does have some relationship to Strictly English.

So, when was it made?  The best clue is the presence of Ivor Gold.  He was killed March 1, 2001 when he surprised a burglar in his London apartment so it can’t be any later than that.  Ivor’s filmography on the Spanking Art Wiki lists this movie with a date of ‘circa 1999’.  That’s the best I can find and it seems reasonable, given that Kara-Jayne was working with Red Stripe in ‘98 & ‘99 and I can’t find anything to suggest that Suzi Jarman made any spanking movies prior to ’99 so I’m going with the 1999 date.

‘Dinner of Just Desserts’ opens with eight friends at a dinner party.  The party guests around the table (above) from the lower left are:

Louise, the accomplice (Pam);

Roger:

Rita (with a tattoo on her arm);

Angela, his cheating wife (Kara-Jayne Dempsey);

Nigel (in the red shirt);

Alison (Suzi Jarman);

Steve (Ivor Gold); and

The aggrieved husband just visible on the lower right (a familiar face but I don’t know his name).

The host surprises the guests when he announces that his wife (Angela) has been having an affair and she has been added in covering up the affair by a friend who is at the party (Louise).  He goes on to say that Angela and Louise have agreed to be punished and he wants his dinner guests to assist him in the punishment.  Steve is definitely up for this but Alison is reluctant; this dynamic will continue throughout the movie.  The other three all agree to participate and Rita seems to be the most enthusiastic.

The punishments begin with Angela and Louise bending over the end of the table for a hand spanking from each guest in turn.  The first round is six slaps from each person but the number starts to increase as the process goes on.  The order is always the husband first followed by Steve, Alison, Roger, Rita and Nigel.  The second round is to be six more slaps with the other hand but this quickly breaks down and the spanking become much longer as time goes on.

Next comes the strap.  Angela and Pam are still bent over the table but their panties are now off and each guest delivers six swats with a leather strap.  The fourth round continues with the strap but the positions change.  Angela is first and she is on the table in the diaper position for another round with the strap but she can’t hold this position so she changes into lying on the table part way through.  Louise follows her but she is lying on the table from the beginning.

After the strap comes the cane.  Angela is told to undress and each guest gives her six strokes.  Again, Alison is reluctant and her strokes are noticeably lighter than anyone else’s.  Louise is next, same routine but she is crying by the end of the caning and Alison comforts her throughout.  The movie ends with the 8 friends back at the dinner table, with Angela and Louise still nude, and all the unpleasantness seems to be completely forgotten.

Even though I had the 8 parts of this movie from Spanking TV, I hadn’t watched this movie for many years until I bought the DVD.  Then I rediscovered how much I like it, in no small part because the story is so different from most other spanking movies.  I’ve read reviews that complain about Suzi Jarman’s light strokes during the punishment scenes.  I’ve seen her in other movies where she delivers a much harder caning, although it’s clear she isn’t an experienced top, since her strokes can be wild, so I think it was a deliberate choice to have one reluctant participant among the group and I think that works.  The technical work is good although this does look like a movie that was originally recorded on videotape and then digitized later, but before the tapes had begin to deteriorate.  But more than anything else, it is the concept that makes this movie work for me.  At this moment, I can’t think of any other movie that has a ‘spanking party’ concept like this one and I wish there were more like it.
