Drama
Nuts is one of the best courtroom melodramas ever seen. Set in a courtroom in New York’s Bellevue Hospital, the story concerns an incarcerated woman’s valiant attempt to fight those who want to have her committed as mentally incompetent to stand trial on a manslaughter charge. The State, represented by a court-appointed psychiatrist and an aggressive prosecutor, say Claudia Faith Draper is nuts. In the course of this arresting yet at times very funny drama, she demonstrates to the judge that she isn’t crazy – and goes off in the end to stand trial on the manslaughter charge.
