Girls in Trouble

 

‘Girls in Trouble’ is a 52-minute long movie made by George Harrison-Marks (GHM) about 1987.  It was released by Kane International (catalogue number 13) in the UK and a collection of photographs from the movie appears in issue number 32 of Kane magazine.  The movie was also released by CalStar (English Spanking Classics #23) in the US and that release is currently available on several ‘video on demand’ site such as www.hotmovies.com.

 

This is another movie that may have been filmed in GHM’s house in London, and probably soon after ‘Kane Kandid Kamera’.  Sue and Kathy from ‘Kane Kandid Kamera’ are back but under different names (Jenny and Kathleen respectively).  Janus (GHM’s German Sheppard) returns in another ‘walk on’ role and GHM also puts in another appearance at the end of the movie.  This time they are joined by frequent GHM contributor Sue Ellis who also appeared in ‘Mandy Bait’ (or ‘Mandy Bates’ in the US), ‘The Caning Club’, ‘The Errant Daughter’ and ‘Six Days a Week’ and by a man that I don’t recall having seen in any previous Kane movies.

Kathleen is putting on make up in a bedroom we have seen this bedroom before in other movies when a statuesque blonde (Sue Ellis) rings the door bell.  They obviously know each other, since there is an immediate confrontation in the hallway. They’re soon upstairs in the bedroom where Sue finds ‘proof’ that Kathleen has been sleeping with her boyfriend George.  In a flash the two are wrestling on the bed while Sue tries to give Kathleen a hand spanking but the cinematography leaves room for improvement since much of this action is very poorly framed.  This disappointing segment ends just before the 13-minute mark of the movie.

A cut takes us to Jenny in the bathtub in a scene that is reminiscent of GHM’s 8-mm ’glamour films’ of the 1960s.  After about 2 minutes Kathleen walks in to warn Jenny about Sue.  In the course of their conversation Jenny admits that they had both slept with George the night before.  Soon they are both in the bathtub for a girl-on-girl scene that is a familiar part of most GHM movies.  The bathtub segment last until almost the 25-minute mark of the movie.

Another cut to Sue in the kitchen.  Jenny walks in and tells Sue that she was mistaken about Kathleen since both had slept in the spare room the night before.  Sue goes upstairs to apologize to Kathleen and soon they are into another, but shorter girl-on-girl scene.   

Jenny is reading the newspaper in the kitchen when she thinks that she hears Jenny coming downstairs.  She blurts out that she conned Sue into believing that the two had slept in the spare room before she realizes that it is actually Sue behind her.  Sue drags Jenny upstairs (pursued by Janus) and starts to spank Jenny on the bed.  Sue find a tawse conveniently placed on the headboard and soon the three are wrestling over it.  This scene suffers from the same poor camera work as the first bedroom spanking.

After about 5 minutes Kathleen leaves the bedroom (with Sue continuing to spank Jenny inside) just   She goes down stairs, topless, to answer the door and finds Jenny’s brother who is looking for her since she didn’t come home the night before.  He hears the noise coming from the bedroom and goes upstairs to find Sue still spanking Jenny.  He drags Sue into another room and soon she is over his knee.  By this point I’m having trouble keep track of who is spanking who, not that it really matters because they are all the same.  He picks up a copy of Kane no. 30 that falls off a table and it gives him an idea.  He has Sue kneel on a chair and gives her dozen strokes with a handy tawse (they seem to be all over the house).  The cane is next and this time there are problems with both camera and lighting since the scene is filmed looking into a pair of windows.

as the door bell rings.

While Sue is being caned upstairs, Jenny and Kathleen are comparing the marks on their bottoms in the hallway when GHM comes home.  When he asks about the commotion upstairs Jenny and Kathleen tell him it is his birthday present and he heads upstairs to find it as the movie ends.

I’m a fan of GHM’s movies but I have to admit he made some that just weren’t very good and this is one of them.   The plot, such as it is, is silly even by spanking movie standards.  The punishments manage to be uninteresting and the production values are poor.  If you’re a GHM fan you might want to watch this once, just for completeness.  Otherwise it probably isn’t worth the time it takes to sit trough it.
