Plots(1)
Starring Joan Crawford, this heady drama from 1950 sees her take the role of Ethel Whitehead, a strong woman who becomes embroiled in some unfortunate dealings with the mob. Finding herself dating several mobsters at once, carefree Ethel doesn't seem aware of the consequence this may cause. But the mobster lifestyle brings her untold riches, and having risen from an impoverished background, Ethel doesn't intend to return to her roots. Things go awry when a shooting occurs in Ethel's pristine new home, with events conspiring against her and threatening to send her back from whence she came. (official distributor synopsis)
