CLASSICS-Flamingo Road

Front Row Classics ushers in Noirvember with Joan Crawford at Warner Brothers. We're taking a look at 1949's Flamingo Road. Brandon welcomes Nikki and Salina from the podcast, Sweet Tea and TV. The podcast focuses on how the South is portrayed in TV and film. The hosts take a look at the soapy, southern tone of the film along with the colorful cast of characters. We praise the towering presence of Crawford who carries an (at times) silly script in her own original way. Much of the conversation is dedicated to the highlight of the film being the amazing toxic chemistry of Joan Crawford and Sydney Greenstreet in one of cinema's most unlikely rivalries.
