N.p.: N.p., 1979. Draft script for the 1981 film, an early iteration issued nearly two years prior to the film's release. Title page somewhat oddly notes cast and crew members from the 1978 stage production-nonetheless, this is a script for the film version.

Based on the 1978 play, wherein a deeply conservative judge becomes the first woman to be appointed to the US Supreme Court, leading to a friendly rivalry with an older liberal associate justice.

Set and shot in Washington, DC and California.
