Fantastic movie, of course. Almost required viewing imho. Get No Time for Sergeants to make an awesome Andy double feature.

you often find that they differ wildly, even when those accounts are from 100% disinterested parties, and the event is a commonplace one like, for example, a fender bender.

And yes, there is research showing that an attractive individual is judged by observers as being more innocent than an ugly one. Not fair, but that's human nature.
