The Story of Temple Drake

 I was thrilled about this movie getting released but it was kind of a letdown.  I loved William Faulkner's Sanctuary. This wasn't as involving.  This was controversial in its day but there were better precode movies.  To be honest I prefer the comic precodes so this has something to do with my opinion.  The plot has to do with a judge's daughter.  When there's a car accident she is left vulnerable to the help she gets.  Unfortunately, that company includes criminals and leads her to a destructive path.  Miriam Hopkins' acting was pretty good and the movie's strongest point.
