Back Street

Set in turn-of-the-century Cincinnati, the story follows vibrant shop girl Ray Smith as she falls in love with banker Walter Saxel, who is already engaged to a socially prominent woman. Though circumstances inadvertently keep her from running away with him, Ray remains single and reunites with Walter five years later. Even though he is married and has a son, she becomes his mistress, facing years of social ostracism and long stretches of solitude while waiting for their brief interludes together.
