Walking Tall
The measure of a man is how tall he walks.
Directed by Phil Karlson
Produced by Bing Crosby Productions
A gritty, violent vigilante drama rooted in 1970s rural Tennessee, where a former wrestler-turned-sheriff wages a brutal, personal war against entrenched corruption and organized crime.
Ex-wrestler and Tennessee Sheriff Buford Pusser walks tall and carries a big stick as he tussles with county-wide corruption and moonshining thugs.
