Regardless of what some of the other uninformed reviewers here may think, this is a great little picture of the 1950s teen scene.
Of course we don't have the budget or production values of Dean's "Rebel" but the compact story and action move along swiftly.
It's interesting to watch such a young Billy Jack, and of course Dick Bakalyan turns in a great performance of, what else, a punk.
And yes some of the other cast members, besides Lauglin, DID continue on in the business quite successfully...Miller stayed busy, finally landing a recurring role in a soap, and all you have to do is turn your set on any time any day and you can find Bakalyan in something, the guy must be filthy rich.
A good flick.
