Synopsis

Spoiler Alert
Julia Scott, a secretary at a department store, makes her boss Richard Barclay marry her. However she finds out that living up to the standards he sets at home, and taking care of Annabel, his spoiled-brat daughter, is much more difficult than she had imagined.

The spanking scene

One night, Annabel (Edith Fellows) refuses to go to bed when told and throws a big tantrum. After a chase through the house, Julia (Claudette Colbert) finally is alone in the room with her.

Annabel: "If you make me go to bed, I won't sleep!"

Julia: "I'll give you something to make you sleep."

Annabel: "I won't take a pill!"

Julia: "I'm not going to give you a pill, Annabel." (walks to the dressing table and picks up a hairbrush)

Annabel: "If you'll give me a pill, I'll spit it out!"

Julia: "This is going to hurt you more than it does me." (slaps the hairbrush a few times into her palm, approaching the girl)

Annabel, wide-eyed: "What are you gonna do?"

Cut. From outside the room: spanking noise and Annabel's crying is heard.

Richard Barclay (Melvyn Douglas) listens to it and comments "That's the first music I've heard around this house for months."
