Sanctuary | Adaptations
Sanctuary has been adapted twice for film: The Story of Temple Drake (1933) and Sanctuary (1961). According to Bruce Kawin, the earlier film is a serious attempt at adaptation bedeviled by the restrictions of the motion picture code. The later film combines Sanctuary with Requiem for a Nun to make a reasonably good adaptation of the whole Temple Drake story as Faulkner finally saw it in his sequel.
