On this day, December 11, 1987, the legal drama Nuts, directed by Martin Ritt, premiered in theaters. The film starred Barbra Streisand as Claudia Draper, a high-class call girl accused of murder who fights to prove her competence to stand trial. Joining her in this gripping courtroom drama were Richard Dreyfuss, Maureen Stapleton, Eli Wallach, Karl Malden, and Leslie Nielsen in a rare dramatic role.

With a budget of $25 million, Nuts grossed $31 million at the box office. Barbra Streisand received critical acclaim for her powerful performance, which anchored the film’s intense exploration of mental health and the legal system.
