I've seen The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, and it's clear that the spanking talk was a threat only. The main plot involved Shirley's character's sister, Myrna Loy, who herself got an on-screen spanking in The Thin Man Goes Home the same year, and Cary Grant, who threatened Audrey Hepburn in Charade and, of course, is alleged to have spanked his wife Dyan Cannon in real life. Does anyone know if he ever gas an on-screen in any of his films?
