Back Street (1961)

Ambitious but thwarted, Rae Smith meets handsome Marine Paul Saxon, (of the Saxon department store chain), as he passes through Lincoln, Nebraska, on his way home from World War II. There's a definite spark between them but circumstances intervene and he leaves town without her. Later she learns he's married. Determined to make it as a fashion designer, Rae moves to New York and becomes a great success. One day she happens to meet Paul again and again there's that spark but he's still married so, as a form of escape, Rae moves to Rome to set up shop. Once again she meets Paul and finally they begin an actual affair since Paul's shrewish, drunken wife, Liz, won't give him a divorce. Time passes, the affair continues whenever time and place permit, but then, Paul's young son finds out about Rae and Rae's back-street world begins to crumble.

The third version of Fannie Hurst's novel, filmed in 1932 and 1941, is the weakest: Susan Hayward may be too old and too tough for the part.

This movie is the pure definition of a tear jerker movie. The acting is well done.You keep hoping for the couple that something good will come their way. Definitely have tissues handy.

I wish I could give it 4 stars, because I love to watch it over and over. It is so cheesy, it is funny now. (Save the wishbone for me!) This was kind of a wimpy role for Susan. I like her better when she is fiesty. Love Vera Miles too. Her part should have been Susan's.

68/100. This is, so far, the third version of this popular melodrama. It is the second best of the three versions, but certainly the glossiest and the best produced version. Good costumes and art direction. The Irene Dunne 1932 version was the best, and the Margaret Sullavan 1941 version my least favorite.

It's so delicious bad it's monumental, a masterpiece of nonsense.
