WHITE BANNERS (1938) SCENE 1 F/f one smacker

Based on the novel by Lloyd C. Douglas

A homeless woman named Hannah drifts into the lives of the kindly Ward family, in a small Indiana town in 1919. Hannah makes herself useful as a cook and housekeeper and stays with the Wards...
Mr. Ward, a science teacher by day, is an inventor by night attempting to create something that will provide sufficient money for Marcia, their teenaged daughter Sally (played by Granville) and their new baby, to have some luxuries in life. Hannah, who is extremely wise and helpful, comes up with some good ideas.

This movie contains three playful one-smackers for Sally by her parents, in three different occasions.

In this first scene Sally receives a smack by her mother as a waking call in the morning.
