Absolutely wonderful. Especially when u consider was made n 1932. Beautiful sad love affair. Moral of the story is to have more pride in yourself. Don't settle.
This film was made before the Code System emerged in Hollywood. All the drama aside the movie was a good lesson that it does not pay to be a mistress for such a long period of time.
OMG! The scene at 50:30 where Irene Dunne's character Rae begs John Boles' character Walter to give her a child is heartbreaking beyond words!! His self-righteous condemnation of her, even more so. Dunne's performance in this film is a tour de force. I think the only actress who could even begin to hold a candle to her is Barbara Stanwyck, especially the latter's performance in "Stella Dallas". Neither Dunne nor Stanwyck ever received an Oscar during their lengthy acting careers. Miss Stanwyck did receive an honorary Academy Award at the end of her life, but the Academy's failure to recognize Miss Dunne's body of work is a gross miscarriage of justice.
The artistic and production values of the film, like mostly anything Pre-Code Hollywood, are MAGNIFICENT but... what an uninspiring, depressing, disgusting, unromantic story!!
So funny to see Irene Dunne play a 'back street' woman. She was very convincing as the mistress of a married man. John Boles gave good support, but was 'wooden' actor.

Oh I love Irene Dunn’s acting. I love how she just makes her character shine. Poor Kurt! 😢he could have given her an respective life.
@bennyhope5761 I presume Kurt eventually found someone more worthy once he got over his infatuation.
But she didn’t love Kurt, good man though he was.
Oh, What a beautiful movie! I am so moved by this every time I watch it. Thank you.
He sure was a handsome fellow. Very much a tear jerker film.😥
Wonderful singing voice, too.

Lovely film thank you so much
That was both lovely and sad. Choked. ;/
great movie ro watch more than once. irene dunne was perfect in the role of the mistress. rest in peace irene. you were a fine actress.
True to form .....Love is blind and loving a married man is fruitless.
Love love This Movie
But fruitful in many ways.
Frida was such a brat that she cost Ray her happiness. Also Dick is such a Dick! What a loserlike mentality.
@@charisserempel23 If you include rotten fruit.
Another great classic . I can never get tired of watching this. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻💜💙😊
This is such a beautiful movie! I've watched it several times!
John Gavin, & Susan Hayward were in the remake. A sad story. Never fall in love with a married man.
Little gem love this film
Thanks a lot.
Very good film I loved it

INDEED IT WAS CONSIDERING HER BODY OF WORK AND WHAT A GOOD ACTRESS SHE WAS.
Quiet masterpiece.
THE most beautiful story ever...rings home.
Ahhh this film oh my what a treasure
Could you possibly find Susan Hayward Back Street
Yes, her & John Gavin
That's the one I saw.

Carol Veazie ( 04:12 ) played a similar character in "Auntie Mame" in 1958.
The editing in this was jarring.
come here after Tarantino's interview
@Lina19981 Link please.
John Boles would have been a really good Gaylord Ravenal opposite Irene Dunne in Showboat.
They had wonderful chemistry together.

I like the movie, but I sure don't like Walter! What a selfish jerk.

No, his character changed a lot during the film.
Nothing wooden about the scenes in the Paris apartment or the deathbed scene.
sob sob 😢😢
Not a good way to spend your life.
There is another copy of this movie here on UA-cam with lots of comments. Always dislike this movie.
It was remade 2 other times, with Margaret Sullavan and Susan Hayward.
I’m confused 🫤 did they ever have intercourse in their affair? Did they have condoms in 1932? Or contraceptives?
Yes. Condoms have been around for centuries.
