Jadentimes Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 This is an old black and white movie set in the 20's era, the movie begins with a young school couple at a party, the guy was pretty drunk so his girlfriend wanted to leave. On the drive home, he's drunk and crashes the vehicle. The couple are pulled to safety and retrieved by some gangsters, the main character is a man named Candy. The girls boyfriend is released, but Candy keeps the girl. The girl is reluctantly kept for a while, then eventually the boyfriend friends his way back, end of story. I have looked all over the web and can't find this movie. I initially thought it was called deadmans curve, around the curve, or something having to do with the accident, but im not sure. Does anyone remember this movie???? Message was edited by: Jadentimes Link to post Share on other sites
RichfromCarbondale Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 You say it was "set in the 20s" but when was it _made_? Any idea of range of years? B&W or color? Name any of the actors? Link to post Share on other sites
Jadentimes Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 The movie was set in the 20s, the flapper style dresses on the women ect.... and the movie was in black and white. I saw this movie sometime between 1975 and 1980. I don't recall any of the actors, but the girl who was held captive did have a mia farrow look to her, however it wasn't her.

vallo13 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Well there isn't a character named Candy (Jellybean-Yes, Candy-No) The main gangster is named Trigger (Played by Jack LaRue) the film is "The Story of Temple Drake" 1933. But I could be wrong. Miriam Hopkins plays the main Female character. Try here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024617/#comment vallo Link to post Share on other sites
Jadentimes Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Sorry read the storyline, thats not it. This was about a teenage couple leaving a party, her boyfriend was real drunk from celebrating, think he won a football game at school, they get into a car wreck around a sudden turn in the road. The girl character wakes up and finds herself in bed at this gangsters house, her boyfriend was being kept in the barn. When her boyfriend got well, they dumped him off somewhere alive, but the gangster "candy" liked and tried to keep the girl. However the boyfriend comes back to save the day.

danthemoviefan Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 How about Sanctuary, the 1961 version of the story with Lee Remick as Temple Drake and Yves Montand as Candy? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055402/ Link to post Share on other sites
