Dottie Gets Spanked
Todd Haynes, director.
USA, 1993, 16mm, 27 min.

Todd Haynes exceeds the dazzling dementia of Superstar and Poison with Dottie Gets Spanked, a perverse nod to his own childhood infatuation with "The Lucy Show." A young boy enters a limitless erotic world through the miracle of modern television. Dottie Gets Spanked is being screened here in tribute to producer Christine Vachon, this year's Frameline Award winner, and it was commissioned for broadcast on public television as part of the five-part series, "TV Families."
