Dreyfus and Streissand in Another Great Martin Ritt Film
This is the third of three great courtroom dramas from that time. “And Justice for All,”(1979) and “The Verdict,” (1982) were the other two.

Because of all the courtroom dramas on television in the 1990’s and 2000’s, many of the things in the movie now seem as clichés. It is important to remember that it was quite original when it came out. It is only cliché today because it has been copied so much since. Women were generally terrible victims of much psychiatry in the 20th century, this film, “Francis” (1982)and “Suddenly, Last Summer” (1959) are the only three movies that really demonstrate that.

The cast is full of great actors and actresses in small rolls: Eli Wallach, James Whitmore, Maureen Stapleton, and Karl Malden know that less is more and underplay their roles smoothly. The only problem with the casting is Leslie Nielsen as a crazy client. Nielsen became so associated with spoofs like “Airplane” and “The Naked Gun” one almost laughs automatically when he’s on the screen, no matter how serious the scene is. Stars Richard Dreyfus and Barbara Streisand are at the top of their form and work well off each other.

The one criticism of this movie that is valid is Streisand’s age. She is a bit too old at 45 for the character who is supposed to be in her late 20’s. It is a minor irritation, and we should remember that male actors in their 40’s also frequently play such roles. For example, Brad Pitt was 41 when he played Achilles, and Sylvester Stallone was 60 when he played in his last “Rocky” movie.

This is Barbara Streisand’s grittiest movie with rape, incest, and madness being key themes, yet it still has a lot of witty lines and funny moments. It is just well balanced and well done. The DVD contains some fascinating commentary by Ms. Streisand.

Compelling yet contrived vanity project **SPOILERS**
“Nuts” is one of those set-piece courtroom dramas that feel too slick, too pat, too contrived to really work, despite some excellent work by Richard Dreyfuss, Eli Wallach, and especially Maureen Stapleton. Even Barbra Streisand (definitely NOT one of my favorites) isn’t too bad when she’s not too busy chewing the scenery to pieces.

However, this movie drones out like a late-80s morality play, or even an acting-class extemporaneous psychodrama. It hits all the right PC notes: a stepfather who is a sexual predator, an alcoholic mother who (maybe) unwittingly pimps out her daughter for security, a physically abusive husband, not to mention the lawyer who wants to get rid of her quickly, the other lawyer who risks everything for justice, the uncaring hospital administrator/psychiatrist who … well, I’m sure you’re getting the picture. The most egregious is when the WASPy lawyer and psychiatrist get their panties in a bunch when she starts talking about sex and prostitution, as if they’ve never dealt with it before. All we’re missing here is a learning disorder.

All of this is mere prologue for Streisand to strike a blow for feminists by declaring that her life choices are her responsibility (true) and that they want to label her as crazy and lock her up forever because she’s dared to do things that men don’t like, and they’re afraid of her power (huh?). Maybe it’s symbolism, but it’s laid on very, very thick, and Streisand’s tendency to overact doesn’t help.

The result of all this contrivance is that the story feels false, the characters feel false, and a good deal of what goes on in the courtroom isn’t at all realistic. James Whitmore as the judge gives the most realistic performance, but it’s not the actors — it’s the script itself. People contradict themselves in ways inconsistent to their characters. For instance, Karl Malden as the stepfather makes a very incriminating contradiction on the witness stand. Would a man who had successfully hidden his abuse of his stepdaughter for 20-odd years suddenly crack under 5 minutes of unremarkable questioning? Not likely. Would a psychiatrist who had testified in “hundreds” of hearings admit any personal bias by accident as shown here? Not likely.

However, there are some good performances that definitely lend tension to the movie, and even though this has very obviously been adapted from a stage play, it avoids that flat, almost-video look that so many movies from the 80s tend to have. It’s watchable but not remarkable — I gave it a 6.
