Flamingo Road (1949)
Pennyless Lane on the long and winding road
16 April 2008
"Flaming Road" is the posh street of the town ,the place where everyone who has made it wants to dwell.

"Flamingo road" belongs to a rare genre :the political melodrama ;but politics are very vague and consist of scheming ,bribes and men of straw.The young male actors are rather bland and it's Sidney Greenstreet' s sheriff Titus who walks away with the honors.He really matches Crawford every step of the way.He did exactly what the producers wanted to:making himself hated by the audience .He is fat,fleshy.Crawford almost becomes a female Jean Valjean ,harassed by an American Javert.
