Back Street, one of the most popular and endearing romance novels of all time, has been brought to the silver screen several times over the years. This sublime 1941 adaptation stars the luminous Margaret Sullavan (The Good Fairy, The Shop Around the Corner) and the dashing Charles Boyer (When Tomorrow Comes, Gaslight). Five years after meeting and falling in love with a banker (Boyer), a willful shop girl (Sullavan) decides to become his “back street” woman upon learning he has since gotten married and had a son. This classic story of an illicit love affair from author Fannie Hurst (Imitation of Life) is brought to vivid life by director Robert Stevenson (Jane Eyre, Mary Poppins) with wonderful supporting roles by Richard Carlson (All I Desire), Frank McHugh (Going My Way) and Tim Holt (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre). Featuring an Oscar-nominated score by Frank Skinner (The Tarnished Angels), this elegant tearjerker packs a hefty dramatic punch.Special Features:-Brand New 2K Master -NEW Audio Commentary by Author/Film Historian Lee Gambin and Costume Historian Elissa Rose -Theatrical Trailer (Newly Mastered in 2K) -Optional English Subtitles
Charles Boyer & Margaret Sullivan act up a storm in this wonderful old movie. I prefer the "old" movies because they are not filled with foul language, steamy-in-your-face sex scenes, crazy camera movements, ear deafening noise. these oldies don't rely on super fast action to try to keep you interested... they actually tell a story! and this is a story beautifully told. don't let the horrid cover on Back Street fool you into thinking this is a cheap, crummy movie... far from it! Back Street tells of a love that cannot be denied... of the consequences of missed opportunities... and missed communications. it bespeaks the honor of one man and the strength of the woman who loves him. life throws you curve balls and this movie speaks of the courage required to adjust.
