The pending case: the People of the State of New York vs. Claudia Draper. The issue: Is Claudia mentally competent to stand trial? Sure, shes shocking. Outspoken. Explosive. Defiant. But is she nuts? Barbra Streisand is Claudia and Richard Dreyfuss is her public defender in the blistering courtroom thriller Nuts, and their first-time pairing results in the dramatic performances of their careers (Pat Collins, WWOR-TV New York). The sterling supporting cast -- Maureen Stapleton, Karl Malden, James Whitmore, Eli Wallach, Robert Webber and Leslie Nielsen -- has been directed to a perfect pitch by Hollywood legend Martin Ritt (Hud, Norma Rae). Claudia holds nothing back, so this day in court is one youll never forget.
