Back Street is a 1961 film made by Universal Pictures, directed by David Miller, and produced by Ross Hunter. The screenplay was written by William Ludwig and Eleanore Griffin based on the novel by Fannie Hurst. The music score is by Frank Skinner. The film stars Susan Hayward, John Gavin and Vera Miles.
The story follows two lovers who have limited opportunities to get together because one of them is married.
It was nominated for Academy Award for Best Costume Design, Color (Jean Louis).

Good examples of how the plotline was sensationalized in this third version are the attempted suicide and the fatal car crash.
