‘Rattan
College 3’ is a Moonglow movie that is often mentioned but I have never been
able to find it. The Moonglow DVD catalogue lists two movies in the Rattan College series: C04 –
‘The Sports Mistress (Rattan College 1)’ and C05 – ‘Rattan College 2’ which
consists of three segments, ‘Sarah Remembers Everything’, ‘Rhyme & Reason’
(aka Impertinence) and ‘Term Ends’, but there is no ‘Rattan College 3’. I kept looking until a few months ago I dug back into the Internet Wayback
Machine and I managed to find the on-line catalogue of Moonglow VHS tapes from 1999. It
turns out that there was a VHS tape called ‘Rattan College 3’ which consisted
of ‘Rhyme & Reason’ and ‘Term Ends’ in that order. ‘Rattan College 2’ (C5 in the VHS catalogue)
and ‘Rattan College 3’ (C6) were later combined on one DVD called ‘Rattan
College 2’ (C05 in the DVD catalogue). The
listings for some other DVDs say that two movies where combined into one DVD but that isn’t mentioned for ‘Rattan College 2’. Just to add to the confusion, the DVDs were
assigned catalogue number that differ, but are in the same format, as the
catalogue numbers for the VHS tapes. So,
the VHS tapes C5 and C6 were combined to create the DVD C05. That’s one mystery solved. I have copies of ‘The Sports Mistress’ and
‘Sarah Remembers Everything’ but I still wasn’t been able to find a copy of
‘Rattan College 3’ (‘Rhyme & Reason’ and ‘Term Ends’) until...
A 1-hour and
52-minute long spanking movie called ‘Classic Discipline’ has been making the
rounds of the spanking boards over the last couple of months. A contact print of scenes from it is shown
above. It was one of those movies that
looked familiar but I couldn’t identify it.
The movie has no title or closing cards and no other identification
except a ‘B.F.I’ bug. With some digging
I finally discovered that the first two segments of ‘Classic Discipline’ are the full
24-minute version of ‘Term Ends’ followed by ‘Rhyme and Reason/Impertinence’, the two parts of ‘Rattan
College 3’ but in reversed order. The
third, 44-minute long, segment of ‘Classic Discipline’ contributes most of the
images on the contact print. It also
looks very familiar but I haven’t been able to identify it yet. The final segment of ‘Classic Discipline’ is
14-minutes long and I don’t recognize it at all. It doesn’t strike me as ’Moonglow’ material,
although I could be wrong because Moonglow was comprised of three different
producers. (Update: It's from the Cavern Spanking movie 'Troublesome Daughters' which was also released as 'Suffering Asses' by 6666 Productions.) Nevertheless, I finally found the two segments of 'Rattan College 3'.
‘Rhyme and
Reason’ (aka 'Impertinence', which is a better title) is 34-minutes long. It was the
first segment of the VHS tape ‘Rattan College 3’ and it is now the second
segment of the DVD ‘Rattan College 2’. The
movie features Dawn Davies (Lucy Bailey) and it is currently available under
the name ‘Impertinence’ from www.hotmovies.com
Update
(Sep. 2020): I have learned that this movie was also released by 6666
Productions under the title "Learn More'. This version is also available
from www.hotmovies.com.
‘Virginia
Bottomley' (Dawn Davies/Lucy Bailey) has made the mistake of writing
naughty couplets about teachers and schoolgirls in an exercise
book she submitted to her teacher for grading.
He calls her into his study and confronts her with his discovery. He starts by having her read the couplets while
he acts them out until they come to one that reads ‘Mr. Formley is a dirty old
man, he uses his cane whenever he can’.
He points out the cane hanging on the wall and asks her if that is the
one that she had meant.
He tells her
to take off her skirt then clear the table so she can lie across it. He starts by giving her 18 strokes with a
leather tawse then he has her stand, facing the wall, while he returns to
grading exercises. After a fade out, he
tells her to stand in front of the desk and he has her read the first couplet
from another page in her book. After she
does, he has her bend over the desk for 2 strokes of the cane. 
The biggest
problem with ‘Rhyme and Reason’ is the pacing; five minutes less would have
made a much better movie. There is also
too much, and sometimes very inappropriate, background noise and the space
really isn’t suitable for filming. The action
is good but I would have like to have seen Victoria’s face during the final
caning.
‘Term Ends’
is 24-minutes long according the VHS catalogue as is the version included in
‘Classic Discipline’. It was the second
segment of the VHS tape ‘Rattan College 3’ and it is now the third and final
segment of the DVD ‘Rattan College 2’. A
re-edited 19-minute version of ‘Term Ends’ is currently available from the
Classic British Spanking shop on www.clips4sale.com. The movie features Alison Payne, Jenny Close
(Karen), Dawn Davies (Lucy Bailey), Jane Smith (Julie) and Nick Urzdown who
describes the making of the movie in his blog ‘Memories of a Strict Uncle’ (http://strictuncle.blogspot.com/2010/05/spanking-for-moonglow-1990s.html
but the same story appears in his book ‘A Spanking Good Life’):
“I duly
arrived on time to film my part in Rattan College 3. As someone who had worked
for the BBC I was amazed to see that CP videos did not have either a script,
nor a technical script for the technicians. Come to think of it, this shoot did
not actually have any technicians either - what it had was George who acted as
director, cameraman, sound man and brew lad all rolled into one. We were given
our instructions and then left to develop the characters as we saw fit. OK, put
another way, I was told to make a headmasterly speech to the girls and then get
them upended across my knee one by one.
The
studio was tiny; just one square room with one corner taken up by a sitting
room set and the other a classroom. A third corner was the entrance and the
fourth was filled with about half a dozen chairs, all occupied by men who had
paid to watch the shoot. In theory three of the four girls who I was working
with that day should have arrived at hourly intervals, to video their scenes.
The fourth was there all the time since she was doubling up as the buffet lady.
. .
"Julie,
it's time to be caned."
"Just
as soon as I've got these sausage rolls out of the oven."
It was
chaos. Girls arrived in their own good time and the shoot dragged on into the
evening. The lights made the tiny, overcrowded set even hotter than it would
otherwise have been and to cap it all a girl named Karen finished her shoot,
went off to get some food in the kitchen, and then came back to announce that
she was leaving - thus ruining an otherwise flawless take that was being shot.
Needless to say, the young madam was promptly bent over and given six of the
very best for her female irresponsibility, but it still meant more work for the
rest of us.
"That's a wrap!" When we heard those magic words everyone
on the set just let out an enormous sigh. The lights were switched off, the
camera was packed away, and those of us who were up to it made out way to the
nearest pub for a pint or three.”
‘Term Ends’
is a simple story told four times … its wash, rinse, repeat. Nick Urzdown plays the headmater and Carolyn (Alison
Payne) is the first student to enter his office (the same room, with the yellow
wallpaper, that appeared in Rhyme and Reason but with different furniture).
Her performance on her final examinations has been poor and in less than
a minute she is over his knee then its skirt up, panties down and, after a
short hand spanking, its off to the punishment room and over the desk for 12
hard strokes of the cane. Carolyn’s
story is finished in 7 minutes.
Victoria
(Jenny Close/Karen) is next. She left
the residence and claims that Miss Smith (Jane Smith/Julie) gave her permission, which she isn’t authorized to do. Miss Smith is sent away and Victoria is over the Headmaster knee for a quick had spanking then its off to the punishment room for 12 strokes. Victoria’s scene is also about 7 minutes.
Now its
Susan (Dawn Davies/Lucy Bailey) with Miss Smith again. Susan was caught cheating but Miss Smith
tries to defend her, unsuccessfully.
There is a bit of a change, she goes straight to the punishment room for
the slipper followed by six with the cane. Susan’s scene is barely 5 minutes.
Finally,
it’s time to deal with Miss Smith. After
a short conversation on the couch its off to the punishment room for six with
the cane. Then its skirt off and panties
down for another six. Her scene also
lasts about 5 minutes.
The only
version of ‘Terms Ends’ I’ve ever seen is the one from ‘Classic Discipline’ and
it seems a like it’s unedited film straight from the camera. There are pauses for direction and repeated scenes from different angles together with some very rough cuts. The sound and lighting are barely adequate,
some shots are out of focus and there is a little background noise in the final
scene. In his blog, Nick Urzdown says
that he re-edited some of the movies he sells and I can see how he could easily
cut 5 minutes out of this one and improve it in the process (I wish he had done that with 'Rhyme and Reason'). However, I don’t think he could possibly
improve it enough to make it into a movie worth watching. I would give this one a pass unless you can
find ‘Classic Discipline’ on a spanking movie board.
