Review of Flamingo Road (1949) by Joel A — 08 Jul 2015
Joan Crawford is electric in the cult hit Flamingo Road about a wild girl gone good & trying to make a life or herself but the local sherif won't have it.
The sherif is masterfully acted by Sidney Greenstreet & the as the tension mounts so does the performance. It shows the underbelly of a lot people but it exposes it so honestly & heartfelt.
Even the side characters (Like Lucy the Nightclub Owner) have a part to play. It's deemed as a noir film which it is but always a showcase for the darker side of human nature.
