DVD Reviews of The Paper Chase

DVD Review: Excellent film!
Summary: 5 Stars

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!

DVD Review: Great Film, Decent DVD
Summary: 4 Stars

This DVD is based on a print that's in good shape. The only problem I noticed was with the audio. In a couple of scenes -- such as in Brooks' apartment, where he's confessing his struggles to Hart -- the audio isn't 100 percent in sync with the video, although fortunately not to the point that it's annoying.

The only downside to this DVD is the limited features, which are the trailer and commentary. Maybe there simply wasn't anything left the cutting room floor, or maybe nobody bothered to save it because at the time they ddn't realize that this film would become a minor classic.

DVD Review: Still great, but dated.
Summary: 4 Stars

Always a great movie for incoming law students. Emphasizes the henious Socratic method. A bit dated.

DVD Review: Great price for a classic film.
Summary: 3 Stars

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.

DVD Review: Strictly for undergraduates and lawyers
Summary: 3 Stars

Some intelligent youngsters study law. Not just anywhere, no, but in Harvard!! This movie tells a coming of age story that made me feel rather uncomfortable. The reason: bright kids are depicted as snooty and the same time impressionable. Their being undergraduates is a stage they are going through, but the thought about where they were headed made my hairs stand on end. They do not seem to have a shred of idealism left at the start (could be a reason to study law, theoretically) and it does not look like they will get it back the rest of their lives. They try to impress a pompous lecturer whose sole purpose seems to consist in intimidating undergraduates. The main character beds the lecturer's daughter who, besides, seems to do nothing but wait for her divorce to get through - her dad's handling it, "of course". The movie is beautiful, but the world in it rather ugly. Strangely, the only likeable person in it is the wife of the most interesting and best constructed character of the movie, the undergraduate with a photographic memory who is intelligent enough to know that he will not make the grade in Harvard. Non lawyers will not like lawyers more after having seen this movie.
