Woman Tied to Railroad Tracks
Carrie reminded me of the old animated cartoons where the stereotypical bad guy was always tying some woman down to the railroad tracks in the path of an oncoming train. Which made us wonder..."why would anyone do that?" As in, what do you gain from this act. It made me curious enough that I looked it up tonight. Here's a moustache-twirling animated character tying a woman to the tracks in the Rocky and Bullwinkle show. But it appears that this idea first appeared in the early silent films from around 1913 or so... http://www.hometheaterforum.com/t/272397/woman-tied-to-train-track-question
