The hair pull is a nice move, though obviously choking would have been even better:

Don Draper Reads Danger & Play
March 29, 2012 by
Nice frame control on his part, interesting how he acknowledge her shit tests but reacts on them in non reactive way.
The actress playing bad in this scene, couldn’t shake the feeling that she is over playing it and tries too hard.
You really have to see the whole episode to understand this scene completely, but it’s pretty awesome standalone as well. Zhou Bisou Bisou!
LOL! That was awesome!
Aside from the hair pull it’s a pretty stupid scene, what with Don at the cocktail cabinet making a drink (cause that’s what men did in the 50s) and the girl disrobing and flagrantly assuming the position. Not what I would call creative direction. But there’s so much truth in the hair pull that I forgive them.
Don Draper nails it.
If I was in Don’s shoes, I couldn’t help but do the same thing. No way a girl could tease my cock and get away with it.
Put this scenario into 90′s or 2000′s TV sensibilities and the male interest never gets the latent message, goes over and sits down in the corner as he’s told like a good sensitive beta, all while asking “what’s wrong honey?”
