Lo sapevi?
- Quiz"Flamingo Road" was originally intended as a vehicle for Ann Sheridan, who turned down the role played by Joan Crawford. Sheridan felt the script was poor and it was not faithful to the book it was based upon.
- BlooperWhen Field first goes into Lane's tent, the radio is playing, and she is heard singing. Cut to a shot of Lane lying on a cot; her voice is heard singing, but her lips don't move.
- Citazioni
Sheriff Titus Semple: Now me, I never forget anything.
Lane Bellamy: You know sheriff; we had an elephant in our carnival with a memory like that. He went after a keeper that he'd held a grudge against for almost 15 years. Had to be shot. You just wouldn't believe how much trouble it is to dispose of a dead elephant.

Played often in the score
This film is a bit of an odd style, as in many ways it's like a trashy Soap Opera combined with Film Noir. The dialog is among the best I have heard and is very Noir-like--so many snappy comebacks and the dialog just crackles. And, fortunately, all the Soap elements are far less predictable than you'd think---as again and again, the characters did NOT do what you'd expect.
The bottom line is that this is a quality production with exceptional acting, script and mood throughout. Provided you like older films, it's hard to imagine a person not liking this movie.
