Abduction

Abduction was a movie released in the 1970s that was strongly based on the Patty Hearst kidnapping case (the famous heiress who was kidnapped by a radical group). While the actress in the movie was bound in bed in this fashion, her feet were never tied like they were in the movie's poster (in point of fact, her feet were never tied at all).

In addition to being the poster for the film, this was also the cover of the VHS (remember them?) copy of the movie. It was this very picture that drew my attention to the film while looking for something to rent in a video store (remember them?), and, because of this, I've always had a fondness for this artwork.

  1. I absolutely loved this movie for the bondage scene and also for the convincing way it delved into Stockholm syndrome, with the kidnap victim Patricia falling in love with the leader of the gang.
