WALKING TALL opens. Directed by Phil Karlson. Written by Mort Briskin, Stephen Downing & John Michael Hayes. Low budget, 1960s-set bio-pic with an excellent Joe Don Baker as a crusading sheriff Buford Pusser waging one man war against crime & corruption in small Tennessee town. Craftily constructed, redneck bone-cruncher becomes unexpected box-office smash. With Elizabeth Hartman.
