Spoiler (SORT OF). How can you NOT like a "J.D." movie with Harvey Lembeck as a likable tough character, and Don Gordon as a dangerous one? (The one character warns his sister that the other one carries a REAL gun, not a zip gun like HE carries!) And it's so strange to see Lembeck play a serious character of that kind, quite some time before playing "Eric Von Zippper" in the Beach Movies. I first saw it very early (not for IT, but still early), and really felt sorry for the girl Vera, nicknamed "Ugly" by everyone else. Some time ago, I found a copy from a video trader, though unfortunately the film it was taken from had a lot of "jumps." At the end is a curtain call, where the "Ugly" actress (named Jaclynne Greene) is shown without her somewhat heavy make-up. Also, the announcer describes Don Gordon in a bantering way as something like "not really such a bad guy."
