Judy Garland couldn't stop giggling while filming the scene in which Dorothy slaps the Cowardly Lion. So the director, Victor Fleming, took her aside, gave her a quick lecture then slapped her. She returned to the set and filmed the scene in one take, even though she still had a major problem keeping a straight face while watching Bert Lahr's crying bit. She can be seen stifling a smile, and she had to bury her face into her dog Toto at one point to hide her giggles (Pictured Above).

Victor Fleming was afraid that his slap would damage his relationship with Judy Garland and even told a co-worker he wished that someone would hit him because of how bad he felt, but Judy Garland overheard the conversation and gave him a kiss on the nose to show that she bore no hard feelings.

It's obvious that Judy Garland had a fun time performing as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and I guess most young girls would laugh too, at the funny and wonderful Bert Lahr playing the role as the Cowardly Lion.

Did Victor really slapped Dorothy? Probably true because it's all about disciplining back 70-something years ago.  Nowadays, there would be lawsuits and someone will be fired if there are some slapping going on in the workplace.

;D ;D ;D ;D

There's nothing to suggest that it was a made up story. Judy Garland said that he slapped her, and some of the cast and crew on the set would have seen it.

Victor Fleming was one of the top and most respected movie directors in those days. If he didn't like what you were doing, he'll deal with you. All was well, and Judy Garland forgave him.

One time at band camp I was paddle by the wooden 'board of discipline' for behaving, being silly and not concentrating in class.  Oh my Lord y'all,  my gluteus maximus was swollen for a couple of days :laugh2 :laugh2 :laugh2 :laugh2.  Sitting was definitely a challenge.

Afterward I reminded myself not to repeat this again. 

Most Lao parents beat their kids when trying to discipline them at home.

But for a teacher to get physical in class is not normal.

In Laos, how do teachers discipline misbehaving kids in school?

Yelling at them is the disciplinary method that works well, but kids in Laos are usually well-mannered in Laos.

Here, teachers do the same as Laos teachers, sometimes, call for help from kids parents.

Now, some teachers do not care about it, just let students rotten away. ::)

Picking up cow chips for fertilizers :D

That disciplinary acitivity was my contribution for growth of plantations during the development of socialism years ago.

We did not have chemical fertilizers. ;D
