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).

I will never forget this movie. I found it in a Theatre in the back
allies of Naha City Okinawa. It was a literal window to another World for me.
I carried it with me in my heart all the way to College in the US.

RIP John Houseman (September 22, 1902 – October 31, 1988), aged 86
You will always be remembered as a legend.

It's amazing how much law school is still the same. Every bit of this trailer rings true, minus the sleeping with a law professor's daughter...

[jsan]

Before law school this movie scared me. After law school it makes me laugh.

Had the biggest crush on Lindsay Wagner in the 70s. I loved this movie when I saw it many decades ago. Great little movie.

[smark]

The only movie I have ever seen that feels totally relatable and abnormal at the same time.

😆 " Here's A Dime .. "

Appreciate the opportunity to see this through in New Haven the last two years. That is great.

Edward Hermann is such an amazing Actor. HE also played Father Joseph McCabe from "Southie" on St. Elsewhere, he should have gotten an Emmy for his performance. The Actor who played Griggs David Clennon was a Man who although "Graduated" from Harvard and got his Degree didn't mind working as a Dorm Monitor and Cashier in The Cafeteria. He was also brilliant as Miles Drentell on Thirtysomething.

Here after CJI D. Y. Chandrachud used this movie as a reference in his talk with David at Harvard Law School.

Wish they would release this on blu ray

Joshua Johnson is either adopting my notorious philosophy about why I loved law school so much or shamelessly brown nosing at NBC News. If it’s the former, I’m glad I “inspired” him. If it’s the latter, all I can say is brown nosing tends to piss more people off than being honest. Women are usually not allowed to be blunt but I don’t care too much about that if you can’t tell.

I couldn't put the Book down when I first read it back in the day. I always looked at Harvard as prestige and glamour since The Kennedy Brothers attended the School. One Critic described it as the antithesis of Love Story & Oliver's Story by Erich Segal (Class Of 1958). If I had to describe it for anyone today it would be The Firm: The Law School Years. Anderson was so right about them not being there at the end of the year it was food for thought.

That's the guy that said..."You earn it!"

Much underrated TV show, excellent, as was the movie

[leosanalien]

Loved this movie. Prepared me for my 1L.

What Kevin said about The Grades was so true. They do determine Salaries, Mortgages, Timeshares in the Caribbean, etc. I know Kevin's Father In Law must have been so disappointed in what happened to him.

Tim Bottoms looked like he was going to be a Star
