About Mrs. Leslie (1954) Shirley Booth, Robert Ryan
About Mrs. Leslie. Based on a novel by Vina Delmar, casts Booth as a philosophical boarding house keeper who recalls her life and loves in a flashback.
Born on the wrong side of the tracks, Vivien (Booth) escapes her surroundings by becoming a cabaret singer. She meets and falls in love with handsome, secretive George Leslie (Robert Ryan), then becomes his mistress, assuming his last name in the interests of propriety.
Upon Leslie's death, Vivien discovers that her lover was actually a fabulously wealthy industrialist.
