(1987) Nuts.
PSYCOLOGICAL DRAMA.
Originally a play before being adapted into a film written by Tom Topor who also provided the screenplay about a self- employed escort (Barbara Steisand) being tried for an insanity plea for killing one of her clients! While the prosecutors are trying to keep her there, she's trying to prove that she is fit to stand trial since she is so confident she can clearly win at beating these charges in the first degree by first claiming it was self defense, but in order to do that she has to beat the insanity conviction from both her parents and the shrink. Richard Dreyfuss, entertaining as always as Aaron Levinsky working as 'Legal Aid' appointed by the State to represent and defend her charge of pleading insanity. The only fault is the character played by Streisand who her character appear to be annoying.
Although, I've this film before, seeing this film again made me realize how annoying and obnoxious the Barbara Steisand character can really be, but the story with the direction from Martin Ritt did a fine job handling it!
2.5 out of 4.
