I love British spanking movies of the eighties and nineties and I've spent the last few years delving into their history. I started this blog to share my interest and what I've learned about it.

Can you help me find a movie? I have been able to finding a few of the Kane I've been searching for with the help of two readers but there are still several others that I'm trying to find. These include Take Three Girls, The French Maid (aka The French Maid's Flogging), Stripe Me Pink, Housewives Choice and The Real Business. Please leave a comment if you know where I might be able to find any of these.

Jane and the Tutor

 

“Jane and the Tutor” is a 26-minute movie released by Roue in late 1980 or early 1981.  The release was announced in Roue 13.  This movie was once available from Roue by mail or at the RAM Books store in London but it is not currently available through the Roue website (www.roue.com) or any of the CalStar Direct websites like www.hotmovies.com.

 

“Jane and the Tutor” was the first movie released by Roue.  The release was announced in Roue 13 in early 1981 and the announcement was repeated in Roue 14, 15 and 17.  Roue 13 is the earliest issue of Roue I have ever seen so I can’t be absolutely certain the release wasn’t announced earlier but I have seen other references that describe this movie as being announced in Roue 13.

UPDATE (Feb 2022):   I just got a look at a copy of Roue 10 and the ad shown above appears on page 3 of that issue so Jane and the Tutor may be older than I had originally thought.  I would now say that it was probably released in early to mid-1980.

The movie opens with a producer’s card reading “A Roue Production” but there is no title card.  This cuts to the sound of a doorbell (which sounds like a telephone) and a man (Roue editor Alan Bell) walking to open the door.  A tall dark-haired woman named Jane enters and the two go into a siting room with very distinctive yellow and black curtains.  The man reads a letter that saying that the woman’s parents have agreed that Jane should spend the weekend with the tutor and that he may use whatever methods are necessary to improve her academic performance.  He has her take off her white panties and put on standard school uniform underwear while he picks up and tests a cane.  The print I have is disrupted by static (I don't think a scene is missing at this point but I'm not sure) and, when the picture returns, Jane is changing into a school uniform. 

By the 6-minute mark of the movie she is in her school uniform and he has donned an academic gown.  He has her kneel on a stool and lift her skirt.  He tells her to lower her panties every time he says either knickers or down he has her piull down her panties and, when she does, he gives her a slap with what look like a ruler (the picture quality leaves a lot to be desired).  This continues sequence continues until about the 10-minute mark then he moves to an arm chair and takes her over his knee for an OTK spanking while she recites a simple poem about spanking several times.  This takes about 4 minutes.

Next, he has her back over the stool with her skirt up and panties down while he works his way through one of her assignments.  He picks up a leather strap and straps her for every mistake he discovers.  I didn’t try to count the strokes but he must have given her close to 50 before he tells her to stand, just before the 20-minute mark.  He has her sit on the stool and he gives her an assignment to take down and she gets her hand strapped or her bottom smacked for each mistake.  When she has her assignment, he sends her off to her room but she comes down a moment later in her nightgown for her final lesson.  He bends her over the back of his arm chair and gives her 6 HARD strokes of the cane then he sends her back to is room.  Unfortunately, the video quality during this scene has deteriorated so badly that it is almost unwatchable.

“Jane and the Tutor” is obviously an early effort at making a spanking video.  There are several awkward edits and the lighting is poor but time has not been kind to this tape and the quality has deteriorated badly.  In some places there is nothing left but static.  That’s a shame because this movie would be worth watching if you could see all of it.  I don’t know where the movie can be purchased.  It is one of three early Roue movies that have disappeared from the Roue catalogue and I suspect that may be related to the management issues that disrupted the publication of the magazine in the later part of 1982.  It does occasionally appear on the various spanking boards and it is easily recognizable by the distinctive yellow and black curtains in the drawing room.  It’s worth a look if you find it but it can be hard to watch.

Roue Classics

UPDATE (Apr. 2022):  The filmography below has been updated to include more information under the comments.  I have also revised the dates as I have collected more information.

UPDATE (Jul. 2022):  I added more information about the suspension of publication of the magazine in 1982. 

Recently I’ve worked my way through the movies of Blushes and Phoenix.  I’ve covered the Janus movies and some of the Kane movies in the past but I have paid very little attention to Roue.  It’s probably time that I correct that oversight.  There is a list of 29 Roue movies on the Roue website (www.roue.com) that is divided into 3 series.  There are 18 Roue Classics, 10 Roue Films and 1 Roue Blue.  The Roue Classics are from the eighties and the other series come later.  Roue did not always announce their movies in the magazine in the same way that Kane and Blushes did and this makes it harder to date the movies.  But they did announce some of the movies and they occasionally published lists of the movies that were available.  From these, I identified three more early Roue movies that were not included among the Roue Classics on the website.

“Jane and the Tutor” is the first Roue movie, and it one of those not listed among the Roue Classics on the website.  There is an advertisement for “Jane in the Tutor” in Roue 13 which is the earliest copy of Roue that I have ever seen.  The same ad appears in several later issues of Roue and I’m not aware of an ad for another movie until “Four O’clock Report” is advertised in Roue 21.  “After Hours” and “Tutor’s New Pupil” are the other movies not included on the website

None of the major British spanking magazines of the eighties put dates on issues so turning issue numbers into dates can be a challenge.  Most sources say that Roue began publishing in 1978 and that there was a major disruption between Roue 22 and 23 resulting from the death of the original owner and the sale of the magazine in 1982.  Finally, I have a copy of Roue 28 and a message to readers concludes with “See you in 1984”.  Those three pieces of information form the basis for my dating of the issues but my dates are only approximate and they could easily be off by a few months either way.

My list of the ‘Roue Classic’ movies (including the three not listed on the website) is below.  I have listed the first issue that mentions the film (I haven't been able to find an issue for one movies) and my best estimate of the date of that issue.  This list includes the Roue Film and Roue Blue movies and I will add more information on these as I find it.
