Conflict erupts when the first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court takes her seat on the bench in Ronald Neame's witty political comedy FIRST MONDAY IN OCTOBER. Newly appointed Justice Ruth Loomis' (Jill Clayburgh) staunch conservative views stand in sharp opposition to the other members of the Court--especially those of outspoken liberal Justice Dan Snow (Walter Matthau). So it isn't long before the rivals square off against each other in a series of cases involving censorship and big business, igniting an intense ideological showdown that yields an unexpected truce between the fiery opponents.
