Barbra Streisand! Period. Streisand plays multiple roles to create this film by both producing & playing the leading lady with a superb all-star cast of supporting actors: Richard Dreyfuss, Karl Malden, Leslie Nielsen, Maureen Stapleton, Eli Wallach, Robert Webber & James Whitmore. Richard Dreyfuss delivers an excellent performance as the leading man. NUTS is a courtroom & psych ward drama about Claudia Draper (Barbra Streisand), a prostitute who is accused of killing one of her "customers." Streisand's performance of dialogues & monologues as she stands trial to determine her sanity before standing trial for manslaughter is one of her best in a drama. As Draper's being examined by her lawyer (Richard Dreyfus), their silent communications with each other drew me into the thickening plot. During psychiatric & court room examinations (dialogues & monologues) Draper also reveals new evidence about her family; a dysfunctional family who's bent on having her involuntarily committed in a psychiatric institution rather than stand trial as an expensive prostitute in a high profile manslaughter case. What more is this family trying to sweep under their rug? I cannot understand why Streisand didn't earn an Oscar for her phenomenally focused & pointed characterization of a woman so drastically different from her. The academy snubbing her on this one was a shame. This is one heck of an intense drama~Read full review
Entertaining yet educational - very point on in regards to the law. Excellent.
