Stephen Roberts: The Story of Temple Drake

February 5, 2020 by Trevor Berrett

Miriam Hopkins stars in The Story of Temple Drake, a 1933 adaptation of William Faulkner’s controversial (and commercially successful) Sanctuary. The Criterion Collection recently released this “pre-Code” film that both seems to embrace the Code while being scandalous enough to lead to its strict enforcement.
