The Story of Temple Drake (Criterion Collection)

College girl Temple Drake (Miriam Hopkins) lived a faster life than her respected Southern family deemed proper. One ill-considered date, however, found her stranded in the lair of a vicious bootlegger (Jack La Rue) who assaulted her and forced her into prostitution...and her violent escape still left her having to balance her reputation against an innocent man’s life. Notorious, long-demanded pre-Code potboiler based on William Faulkner’s "Sanctuary" also stars William Gargan, Irving Pichel, Guy Standing. 71 min.
