Another filmed play, this one from Jerome Lawrence and Robert E Lee, successfully opened up. A sort of Adam's Rib update, the battle of the sexes between two highly opinionated high court judges played by Walter Matthau and Jill Clayburgh. The title's a reference to when the Supreme Court reassembles after the summer recess - nice long holiday they get, then.
With Barnard Hughes, who we'd recognise from Doc Hollywood, Jan Sterling (Ace in the Hole), James Stephens. Photographed by Fred Koenekamp.
It's a quite interesting, reasonably funny and provoking film that somehow doesn't quite come together.
Or maybe it does.
I think the problem is it doesn't really know what it wants to be.
