A short review. Based on Faulkner's trashy, written for a quick-buck, novel Sanctuary, Temple Drake is a trashy, made for a quick-buck movie. Overall, it's not badly acted, Miriam Hopkins is quite good, but several of the supporting players would be more at home in silent pictures. The camera work and direction is unremarkable to say the least. There's not much else to say. The story was shocking and risque in the 30s, and isn't now. And without the "shocking" sex, there's not much else. Summary: For Film Historians only. Released by Criterion for some reason.
