Viewing Notes

Fresh off the success of Walking Tall, Phil Karlson directed another great Southern revenge/wronged-by-the-law tale, with Joe Don Baker once again doing the honors as leading man.

While not as good as Walking Tall, Framed still has a lot going for it, including a great no-holds-barred, realistically violent hand-to-hand fight scene.

Karlson also directed the great noir Kansas City Confidential.
