[Bounci]

A video here to mark the New Year, this comes from the Cole Porter biopic Night and Day (1946), starring Cary Grant in the lead role, and in this scene Jane Wyman (as Gracie Harris) and Mary Martin - Larry Hagman's mother - playing herself recreating the scene she first met Porter! Wyman drags her along to meet him when he is looking for a singer for his new song "My Heart Belongs To Daddy", and when Grant tells her that Wyman tells him she can sing, she seems somewhat surprised - leading to Wyman giving Mary a slap of her backside to prompt her. It's not the only time she does that either, as Mary again makes a faux pas, only for Wyman to pat her bottom again to correct her. Mind you, I doubt Mary would of minded. Despite being married twice, Mary was apparently gay - according to the book "Fade to Grey" - and once in a relationship with also married Janet Gaynor, while Cary Grant, easily one of the best looking men in Hollywood, was rumoured to be bisexual and playing the gay Cole Porter. Only Jane Wyman seems to of had no desire to explore 'other options' in her life...
