Back Street (1961)
Sad but antiquated
5 August 2002 - 11 out of 20 users found this review helpful.
I first saw this movie when it was released in 1961 as a freshman in college. Several of us skipped classes and went to the movies. We all sobbed our hearts out at this sad story. Of course, John Gavin was soooo handsome and we all fell in love with him. I was given this as a stocking stuffer for Christmas several years ago as I went through a sort-of other woman thing(he was getting divorced though). Today the movie is rather dated but it still evokes a tear at the end. I consider this a "chick-flick" probably for the older set and not the sophisticated females of today.
