Back Street, novel and cinema, is based on the potent appeal of a character who humbly takes a prolonged beating from the world and the other characters. The situation of the heroine is socially, morally, economically and emotionally improbable, but genuinely affecting. Director John M. Stahl has elaborated the period detail of pre-War Cincinnati and Manhattan nearly as painstakingly as did Author Hurst. Examples: The high, ugly bandstand and the uniforms of the band playing Sousa's marches-on Sunday afternoon in Cincinnati; the three-step stoop before the notion store where the family chairs are drawn on summer...
