Nuts
Academy Award-winners Barbra Streisand ("Funny Girl," "The Prince of Tides") and Richard Dreyfuss ("Mr. Holland's Opus," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind") team up in this powerful and emotionally charged drama. In one of her most provocative and challenging roles, Streisand portrays a strong-willed, high-priced call girl accused of manslaughter, who launches a fierce battle to prove her mental competence with the help of her court-appointed attorney. Directed by Martin Ritt ("Norma Rae") and featuring a distinguished supporting cast. Sneak Previews calls it "one of the year's must-see movies!...Absolutely terrific!...Streisand gives one of the finest performances of her career!...Richard Dreyfuss is wonderful...The all-star cast is brilliant." The Today Show says it's "a stunning movie...Ms. Streisand has never been more trenchant onscreen...Dreyfuss provides one of the most brilliant performances of his career."
