Ford was a natural for film noir, and "Framed" illustrates this. He is a more vulnerable character than we're used to seeing him play in his other films, and he seems to be easily duped by a beautiful blonde(Janis Carter).
Carter puts in a solid performance and should have been in more films of this type. She is perfect as the scheming and seductive Paula.
Barry Sullivan is a bad guy here, the co-schemer with Paula. While the plot is somewhat predictable, it does include enough surprises to make it a good film noir.
It puzzles me that Framed has apparently not been released on any format in video in either Region 1 or Region 2.
Perhaps Sony will produce a Volume 4 of Columbia film noir and include Framed.
score 7/10
