Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Judicial debate gets a lively cinematic treatment in First Monday in October, starring the odd couple pairing of Walter Matthau and Jill Clayburgh. When a justice of the Supreme Court dies, his appointed replacement is a witty but deeply conservative woman, Ruth Loomis (Clayburgh, An Unmarried Woman, Silver Streak). Loomis immediately raises the hackles of Dan Snow (Matthau, The Bad News Bears, California Suite), a fervent liberal in the minority on the bench. For a while, First Monday in October succeeds in making Loomis and Snow's debates about pornography and censorship lucid and engaging, aided greatly by the actors' obvious intelligence and grasp of the issues. But the movie gets sidetracked by an aimless corporate conspiracy plot and what can only be described as an intellectual romance between the two leads, which never quite catches fire. Still, an interesting effort. --Bret Fetzer

Fantastic movie! Sound track was outstanding. Walter Matthau and Jill Clayburgh had some nice chemistry going throughout the movie! Loved it!

I have loved this movie since it first came out. Walter Matthau and Jill Clayburgh are wonderful together. The supreme court makes an unusual backdrop for the romantic plot.

I've watched this movie on film, videotape and now finally on DVD. It's Matthau at his best as an old, crochety, witty supreme court justice who is forced to work with a woman for the first time. It holds up over the years and is one of those films you want to put on when you just want to forget the world, calm your nerves, and enjoy something that makes you feel good. The same for another Matthau movie "Hopscotch" which I'm waiting for on DVD. You'll enjoy this for sure.

This title arrived in a timely fashion and was greatly enjoyed by my husband who loves the scene about the wallpaper. Thanks to Amazaon I was able to replace a lost item in his library.

Long before Sandra Day O'Conner (In 1981 President Reagan appointed her to the U.S. Supreme Court) there was a play about the first woman on the Supreme Court.
This movie "First Monday in October" (1981) chronicles the potential problems of allowing such a radical act to happen. It involves momentum engines and cabals. This is a great supporting cast; try to remember where you saw them before.
