Young George and Mr. Gower
That scene always makes me cry!
shareTheir emotions are real; for one thing, the Mr. Gower actor really did hit the Young George actor very hard on the ear, so much so that it drew blood, and the crying by both of them could be to do with the hit as well as the emotion of the scene in terms of the telegram Mr. Gower received.
So I can see why that raw emotional scene would make anyone cry! :(
Any citation on that? It looked like Gower was tapping on George's head, not hitting at all, much less enough to draw blood.
EDIT: Just found the scene on youtube, while a couple of hits looked like he was brushing away a fly, there were also a couple that did look like he might have cracked him once or twice hard enough to hurt him.
I saw it myself just now on my copy on streaming. They were hard hits.
I would post a link to IMDb Trivia about it, but since IMDb is apparently "mud" these days...!
Oh, better still... A YOUTUBE VIDEO!!

Yeah, the shot cuts away from the slaps to the girl flinching, but that was a real reaction to a hard hit, and you can see the blood on George's ear afterwards, and the emotional climax.
Why not do your own research next time, strntz, you lazy bum!

Because I'm lazy?
Some of those hits were hard, but the blood look applied otherwise it would be smeared.
