Plot

For the first time in history a woman is appointed to the Supreme Court, and she clashes with a liberal veteran justice.

Sinekatalog’s take

Ronald Neame's comedy-drama, with Walter Matthau and Jill Clayburgh, is amiable and talky, a polite sparring match.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
