THE PAPER CHASE
July 14, 2016  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 2:45 a.m. ET

 

Later at night come two more perfectly representative, and original, movies of the 1970s. The Paper Chase is a 1973 drama about a young law student, played by Timothy Bottoms, who comes up against a super-stern law professor, Professor Kingsfield, played by John Houseman. It’s the movie I made my daughter watch just before she went off to law school – and she swears it scared her, and prepared her, more than anything else she heard or saw before diving in.
