Auction History Result 2m379 STORY OF TEMPLE DRAKE LC 1933 William Faulkner, c/u of Miriam Hopkins & rapist Jack La Rue! Date Sold 12/16/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Story of Temple Drake, the 1933 Stephen Roberts pre-Code bad girl kidnapping crime thriller ("Women whispered her name - Men laughed - but remembered!"; "Call her Bad if you will... but not until you've heard her story."; "I can never face the world again!"; based on the novel 'Sanctuary' by William Fauklner; the novel was considered too outrageous to be filmed, because it involved a rich young girl who is kidnapped and raped and then kills her kidnapper, and the movie is somewhat toned down from the novel, but it is still often cited as one of the pre-Code movies that caused the most outrage, and led to the adoption of the Code!) starring Miriam Hopkins (in the title role as Temple Drake), Jack La Rue, William Gargan, John Carradine, and Florence Eldridge NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: This film is justly famous for being one of the last pre-Code films, and one of the ones that sparked the call for a need to enforce the Code. Therefore, it is extremely ironic that the card was used in England, and it has a small sticker in the bottom left indicating that it was approved by the British Board of Film Censors! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good to fine. The card has a British censor sticker attached to the lower left (see above). I think this is a cool addition to the card, but if someone somehow disagreed, it could be easily removed. There are some smudges in the lower right blank border and a pinhole in each corner. Otherwise, the card is in really nice condition! Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
