Review of The Paper Chase (1973) by Donald W — 05 Oct 2012
This is a movie about a young man's first year in law school. It's also about a gruff and demanding instructor. John Houseman won an Oscar for this movie. This movie was made into a TV show. I remember watching the TV show but didn't see the movie till I got the DVD.
The TV show was better. John Houseman played the professor in both the TV show and movie. He was the star of the TV show but his movie daughter became the Bionic Woman. I'm not sure what the purpose of the movie was.
Were they trying to show that law school was hard? If law school is so hard then why are there are so many lawyers? I was on a jury once that had two young lawyers in front of an old experienced judge that reminded me of this movie.
Those two young lawyers were so bad I wondered if they had actually gone to school.
