...Back Street," with Charles Boyer and Margaret Sullavan, comes closer to achieving complete, continuous, sustained gloom than any picture that has ever left the studios of Hollywood. Never has there been less action, fewer laughs, or more tragedy packed into one movie.

Continual assaults with heavy axes, hammers have no visible effect on the shiny, rustless panels. Their color...
...surface Henry Ford and Robert Boyer have done more to plague steelmakers than to solve the farm problem. But if their dream is true, the technological novelty known as plastics has graduated from its celluloid-and-Beetleware phase into an instrument of industrial revolution...
