- Synopsis:
Carnival dancer Lane Bellamy (Joan Crawford) finds herself stranded in a southern town ruled by corrupt political boss Titus Semple (Sydney Greenstreet). Lane becomes romantically involved with sheriff Fielding Carlisle (Zachary Scott), a weakling whose career is being driven by Titus. Seeing Lane as a liability to his own political ambitions, Titus mounts a campaign to get her driven out of town. She finds she can't get a job and even gets arrested on a trumped-up morals charge. Released from jail, Lane finds work as a "hostess" at Lutie-Mae's road house, where she meets Dan Reynolds (David Brian), another member of the town's political machine. They marry and move to a home on Flamingo Road, the town's social pinnacle. Their marriage is soon marked by scandal when a drunken Carlisle visits Lane at home one evening and shoots himself. - Actors:
