The first talking version of Fannie Hurt's big best seller BACK STREET from 1932 is a bit rough around the edges as it is such an early sound film. The story is told well enough but a bit more of the salacious would have helped the film. My 5 is almost entirely for the stunning IRENE DUNNE who has John Boles as the man she loves. The 1941 version has Charles Boyer and Margaret Sullivan as the lovers and the 1962 version has the incomparable Susan Hayward in all her melodramatic glory being foiled in her love for handsome John Gavin.
