And he laces it throughout with some really fine comedy.

A second offering from 20th Century Fox, "Hex," which played Saturday night at the film festival, is not nearly so impressive. Either the filmmakers were trying to be campy, or they were truly misguided, but "Hex" doesn't come off at all. It contains everything that has a hint of commercial value today, and it is set 50 years ago. By GREGORY JAYNES Constitution ArauMmtntl Editor "Paper Chase," the Atlanta Film Festival's curtain-opener, is a meticulously made picture about the suffocating competition at Harvard's school of law. It stars Timothy Bottoms, who has two talents.

One is acting. The other is picking very good movies in which to ply talent number one. His last three were "Love and Pain" and "The Last Picture Show" and "Johnny Got His Gun," which won a prize at the festival a couple of years ago. This film is going to win some awards. It has a college setting, but it can't be classi-Jied as one of the standard movies about pretty people in a contemporary college.

"Paper Chase" manages to Your Convenience. PG "Wf NEVER STRIKES TWICE-'CaUSE ONCE ENOUGH!" IVJ HH toms went to see one of Houseman's plays at the Juilliard School at Lincoln Center, where Houseman is director of the drama division. "When I saw the two of them together," said Bridges, "there was no doubt. That was who it had to be." He cast Houseman. In the film, Bottoms tries desperately to win some respect from the icy professor.

"I showed it to my students (his real students at Juilliard)," said Houseman. "They said, 'We don't give you any credit for acting at all, because that is the way you are around In the film, Bottoms comes to Harvard from Minnesota. At Harvard, director Bridges said, they found a kid from Minnesota, and they took his coat. "We had to have the coat," said Bridges. "Not just a coat like it, it was metaphysical or psychological, or something." Whatever it was, it worked.

Bridges' film gives you an atmosphere of asphyxiation that just about everybody has felt in times of great stress. KUNG FU KILLERS ON THE LOOSE! go deep and stay light, to affect you personally but in a comfortable way. Bottoms plays Hart, a young man entering his first year of law school. He ain't brilliant, but he managed to get accepted, and he is fiercely tenacious. The emphasis is on grades, for it is the numbers you pile up there that determine your professional life John Houseman, who has been acting, directing and teaching for decades (he started the Mercury Theater with Orson Welles in 1937), makes a superb debut in film as Professor Kingsfield, a mountain feared by all students.

James Bridges, Baby wrote the screenplay from a popular book of a couple of years back by John J. Osborn Jr. Bridges also directed the picture. Bottoms, Houseman, Bridges and producers Robert C. Thompson and Roderick Paul were in town Friday for the premier of the film at the festival.

The young actor, wearing a sport coat, bow tie, slacks and flip-flops, said he spent a week at Harvard getting the feel before starting the movie. He also read "a little Socrates and a book called "The Bramble Bush." Bridges said he and Bot mmm NOW OPEN CONTINUOUSLY 11 'til Closing moRRisons Perimeter Mall Sandy Springs And now Vl a.

Schlesinger has wanted to do a film version of the Natha-nael West novel for many years. "The characters are related to Hoss in he said. "They're all desperately searching for some kind of identity." With a script by Waldo Salt, he will begin shooting in October for Paramount Pictures. "The Day of the Locust," published in 1939, focuses on fringe people of Hollywood, such as a would-be star, her vaudevillian father and a studio artist who wants to paint a canvas depicting the burning of Los Angeles.
