Description:
Expecting only the basic pressures of attending Harvard Law School, a serious, hard-working student (Timothy Bottoms) finds himself the fearful adversary of the school's most imperious, sarcastic professor (John Houseman). Their relationship grows even more complex when the boy discovers that the girl he's in love with is the professor's daughter (Lindsay Wagner). Edward Herrmann and James Naughton co-star in this moving, intelligent drama.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good, but a little dated
I enjoyed the TV series years ago, but had never seen the movie. I watched it with my daughter, who is now in her first year of law school. It was enjoyable, but very much a movie of the early seventies. Professor Kingsfield wasn't nearly as intimidating as he once was. My daughter was bored.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent film!
This is what should be coming out of Hollywood now! This film from 1973 is thought-provoking and truly entertaining without any silly special effects to blur the meaning!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Film, Decent DVD
This DVD is based on a print that's in good shape. The only problem I noticed was with the audio.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Still great, but dated.
Always a great movie for incoming law students. Emphasizes the henious Socratic method. A bit dated.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great price for a classic film.
I very much enjoyed reliving my first experience watching this classic movie from years ago. The commentary was a welcome added addition. For those who don't know, this film led to a TV series also starring John Houseman. I wish it was available on DVD as well.
