Trivia / Walking Tall (1973)

• He Also Did: Made by Bing Crosby Productions.
• Sleeper Hit: One of the quintessential examples. Made on a budget of $500,000 with a starless cast of character actors, it initially failed when it was promoted as a straight action movie, but when it was re-marketed as a tale of a lone rebel taking on The System, it took off dramatically, raking in over $20 million at the box office.
