  WSR Narrative Review
Special Notes:
Also available in the "Barbra Streisand Collection."

Story Synopsis:
Based upon the play by Tom Topor, Nuts is a melodramatic story of Claudia Draper (Streisand), a high-priced hooker arrested for the murder of a john (an almost laughable casting of comedian Leslie Nielsen). While her parents want her to plead insanity, the clearly insane woman wants to stand trial. A struggling lawyer (Dreyfuss) struggles even more when she wants him to prove her point in a competency hearing so she can see her day in court. (Suzanne Hodges)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a naturally balanced color scheme, with a subtle, slightly understated appearance. Fleshtones appear natural and blacks are generally deep. Andrzej Bartkowiak

Soundtrack:
The Dolby Digital 2.0 surround audio is feebly stereophonic in nature. There
