This week's video is from Moll Flanders - no, not the raunchy UK TV series from 1996, but the 1964 film version starring Kim Novak. As you'd expect from such a racy source novel, there is some bum pinching of the title heroine, but not as much as you'd imagine. Only two, in fact. The first comes when she is singing a recital with the family that raised her when she was an orphan, with Derren Nesbitt and Daniel Massey. As her voiceover tells us that "in addition to music, we had lessons in deportment, manners..." Massey's hand reaches down and pinches her bum, startling her.

The 2nd comes when she has shared a passionate tumble in the hay with Massey and comes out of the barn, only for his brother (Nesbitt) to see them and the two get into a fight. As she watches on, their father (Cecil Parker) comes along to inquire about the noise. Telling him that they are fighting, he wagers that they are "fighting over some wench, I wouldn't wonder" and asks if he knows her, before then pinching her bum and plucking some hay from her buttocks. "In the barn?" he inquires mischievously. "I was looking for eggs," says an embarrassed Novak. "Find any?" replies a disbelieving Parker.

For Novak, she came to films in 1954 and quickly found fame in films such as Picnic (1955), The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), Bell, Book & Candle (1958) and most famously Vertigo (1958). Her role in Moll Flanders in 1964 marked what was the wane of her time at the top. Her last role was in 1991 in Liebestraum and after her experience in that she decided to retire. She is still going strong however, and is now 88 years old.
