Back Street (1961)
A gay man's theme park

This movie has it all: fabulous clothes; beautiful cars (those awesome Chryslers and Rae's smart little Mercedes convertible!); romantic locations; posh hotels; and the cutest little French country cottage.
I first saw this on TV at about age 12, and I must say that it contributed much to my sense of melodrama. I've been a big Susan Hayward fan ever since. "Stolen Hours" and "I Want to Live!" are other favorites.
With Hayward and Vera Miles at their scenery-chewing best, and the handsomest male lead for miles around, it's a great escapist trip. The deathbed phone call is way too much! I always cry when the kids go out to Rae's country house after their parents have died.
