The Lane That Had No Turning is a lost[1] 1922 American silent drama film that was directed by Victor Fleming.

As described in a film magazine,[4] in the village of Pontiac, Madelinette (Ayres) has married Louis Racine (Kosloff).

At the wedding announcement, since her father the former Seigneur of Pontiac died intestate and no will could be found, Madelinette is to receive $10,000 so she can continue her operatic studies.

The injuries are such that Louis eventually becomes a hunchback, and he fears in his heart that his young and beautiful wife will turn from him when she returns from her operatic success in Europe.

When Madelinette does return from her tour, she is horrified by the deformity on her unhappy husband's back, but decides to give up her career to be with him and keep him happy.
