Madam D Miriam Hopkins did a good job of acting. However, this movie is so dated that the "bad" woman has really done nothing wrong. She dates lots of men, is raped, kidnapped & kills the man who raped her.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Steve D I applaud Hopkins but she alone can't make it do anything but shock. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Audience Member I've never been a huge Faulkner fan, but I wanted to watch this because it was so controversial at the time that it was banned and remains difficult to find even today. This movie is one of the films that was directly responsible for the enactment of the Hays Code. I don't like people telling me what I'm not supposed to watch, so I sought it out. It's a good story that addresses some of the misogynistic views toward sexual assault that we still cling to today. The last time I checked it was available in its entirety on Youtube. Watch it.

While certainly dark in tone, it doesn't have the punch of Faulkner's novel. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
