Flamingo Road (1949)

Joan Crawford is a dancer left behind by the carnival she works for and tries to setup home in the last small town they had stopped in. Unfortunately sheriff Sydney Greenstreet runs this town with an iron hand and does not want her kind around. Like Sadie McKee, she finds herself a sugar daddy to marry, despite originally being in love with someone else early in the film. Unfortunately Joan is at least 10 years too old for this role and her hair and clothing make her look 10 additional years older. Despite being miscast in the specifics of the role, Crawford brings quite a bit of strength to her character and its great to see her and Greenstreet battle against each other.
