Is framed a bad movie? No it is not, but nowhere as good as Underworld ( Which features Evelyn Brent who is the main star here). One big problem is her character Rose is very unappealing to look at. She is very hard looking and looks about a decade older then Jimmy McArthur ( Regis Toomey). What he sees in her I will never know. I remember seeing her in The Mating Call ( one of 7 Brent films I have seen), and even in a negligee she was not beautiful. Rose is an embittered woman who is involved with gangsters and gets involved with Jimmy because she holds his policeman father responsible for her father's death, and sees him as a way to get revenge. Spoilers Ahead: Rose eventually does fall for Jimmy who kills the gangster Rose is involved in, and she helps him save his father who was targeted for death by his gang, so they do end up together. A fair gangster movie.
