Tickle scene in S*P*Y*S*
Bruland comes home and enters the bedroom: it is nighttime, and his girlfriend, Sybil, is sleeping. She asks him to let her rest but he slips his hand under the covers and tickles her feet. Sybil snaps back as Bruland, starting to undress, tickles her feet with his own feet.
Zouzou laughs thunderously without restraint.
Eventually Sutherland lifts the blanket and to her dismay discovers that there are two pairs of feet under the bed: Sybil’s and her lover’s.
A fairly long tickle scene that has the merit of showing the beautiful Zouzou laughing out loud.
