Hunter is best known for producing light comedies such as" Pillow Talk"( 1959), and the glamorous melodramas" Magnificent Obsession"( 1954)," Imitation of Life"( 1959), and" Back Street"( 1961).
Over the course of his career, Hunter produced films of various genres but found his greatest success with light- hearted comedies, musicals and melodramatic" tear jerkers" that were high on romance and glamour.
Back Street (1961 film)
Back Street is a 1961 American Eastmancolor drama film 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, who also scored the 1941 version.
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.
Hedda Hopper claims Hunter was considering Gregory Peck and William Holden for the lead until she suggested John Gavin.
It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Costume Design, Color (Jean Louis).
Unlike the previous film versions, this one gives Susan Hayward plenty of opportunity to appear in Jean Louis's spectacular gowns.
This was a trademark of Ross Hunter's remakes of older "weepies"; he employed the same method in Lana Turner's versions of "Imitation of Life" and "Madame X."
Of all three screen versions of Back Street, this 1961 production took the most dramatic license with the novel.
It is different from both the 1932 and 1941 screen versions in many ways - changing the names of several characters and updating the story to what was then the present day.
Good examples of how the plotline was sensationalized in this third version are the attempted suicide and the fatal car crash.
Frank O'Connor (actor)
Frank O'Connor( April 11, 1881 – November 22, 1959) was an American character actor and director, whose career spanned five decades and included appearances in over 600 films and television shows.
Early in his career he was also billed as Frank A. Connor and Frank L.A. O'Connor.
During the silent film era, he directed or was the assistant director on numerous films; he also penned several screenplays in both the silent and sound film eras.
He is sometimes erroneously identified with the Frank O'Connor who was married to author Ayn Rand.
