This clip comes from the UK film A Window in London (1939), in which Michael Redgrave believes he has seen a woman being murdered at the window while on a train to work. Sounds very Agatha Christie, though in truth it doesn't entirely work out like that. Anyway, before all that there is a scene where he returns home from work to his wife (played by the beautiful Patricia Roc), who is asleep in bed. As she does night shift (no, nothing naughty, I assure you), he has to wake her up to go to work, and does so by the ever practical way of slapping her bum. It's a lovely sound, and sure does the job, and you also get the benefit later in the film of seeing Roc in just her underwear. I should of included that in this clip, but instead you can check her out in another clip I have posted of her in the "EUF's in Classic Movies and TV" thread here:

As for Patricia Roc, this was one of her earliest screen roles, having only come into acting the previous year. She'd had an unusual upbringing, adopted when young by a Belgium father and French mother from her English parents. She didn't discover the truth until she was in her 30's, by which time she was a big star. She shot to fame in Millions Like Us in 1943, and became a star in Gainsborough films such as The Man in Grey (1943), and The Wicked Lady (1945), where (according to wiki pedia) "Roc's overt bisexuality" had to be downplayed and scenes reshot due to the low cleavages of the dresses in order for the film to be shown to US audiences. Whether Roc was herself bisexual or merely gave that edge to her characters in films is hard to say, but she did marry 3 times in her life. Her career waned during the 1950's and her last screen role was in the TV series The Saint in 1962. She hit the headlines in 1975 for a shoplifting charge, but afterwards retired to Switzerland where she died in 2003, aged 88.
