The Flogging of Lady Constance (1990)
Distributed by Spanking for Pleasure (www.spankingforpleasure.com), and available from the SfP store at Clips4Sale, California Star
and several VOD sites.
As has been the case with the other Sophie Fennington
movies that I have reviewed recently, I’m not sure which company produced "The Flogging of Lady Constance" or when it was made.
However, I
suspect it was produced about 1990 and it is currently available from Classic
Spanking, California Star and through several ‘video on demand’ websites.
The movie runs about 30 minutes.
Lady Constance’s uncle has died and has left his entire estate
to her but there is a condition.
Her uncle was a believer in the value of
corporal punishment and he was not satisfied with his niece’s upbringing so his
will contains a condition that she must be disciplined to his standards before
she can inherit.
This is scenario that
has been used in many other movies – the Shadow Lane movie “Heirs to Misfortune”
that I reviewed earlier this year comes to mind – and it is a scenario that
usually works for me.
The movie opens with Lady Constance and Basil Harcourt, her
uncle’s solicitor, walking around the grounds of her deceased uncle’s home.
After their walk, Mr Harcourt tells Lady
Constance about the condition on her inheritance under her uncle's will.
He leaves her to review the will and, after some thought she tells
Mr Harcourt that she has decided to comply with her uncle’s wishes.
Following the instructions left by the deceased uncle, Mr Harcourt
orders Lady Constance to lift her dress and bend forward.
He begins with a hand spanking that lasts
almost two minutes.
Next, he orders her
to remove her dress and begins lean on a piano so he continues her punishment with
a tawse.
After nearly 5 minutes he orders her to
undress completely and he continues with the tawse and later the riding crop.
Her punishment concludes with her kneeling on
the floor and bent over a stool for a lengthy caning.
Sophie Fennington was known for her ability
to endure severe punishment and this movie is no exception.
I generally liked this movie despite the period and a few
minor technical flaws.
This movie is set
in the late Victorian or Edwardian era.
In an interview she gave near the end of her
career, Sophie Fennington said that she liked the clothing of this era but I’m
afraid I disagree; the movie is at its best for me once she is out of the
period clothing which I don’t find attractive.
I suspect that this movie was originally
recorded on video tape and later digitized.
It appears that there may have been some loss of video quality as the
tape aged but the loss isn’t too severe.
There sound quality and lighting are not always the best there are a
couple of abrupt edits but the technical quality is reasonable for a movie of
this age.
I’ve seen three of Sophie Fennington’s movies (Lisa Must be
Caned, the Flogging of Lady Constance and the Caning of Flight Officer
Fennington) so far and I’ve liked all three.
Unfortunately, Ms Fennington’s movie career was rather short but I am
trying to locate copies of some of her other movies.
