Did they mentioned the First Amendment argument ?
Yes, it's in there. Look in the footnotes.
Director: Bille August
Writer: Mark Bruce Rosin
Stars: Hilary Swank, Helena Bonham Carter, Johan Heldenbergh
This is a movie. This is a movie.
You must remember that.
The facts and/or actual situations may or may not be true ... as depicted in this movie.
But it is based on true events.
Ironically this is from 2017 and it is about the freedoms of persons to choice what is best for themselves when it comes to pharma drugs forced upon patients (mostly unknowingly or unable to do anything about it)) and freedoms of speech.
These are two things that today are being (still) infringed upon.
Remember thou, this is a Hollywood movie and the plot maintains the emotional relationship seen with the friendship between Eleanor and her lawyer, which is done well from Carter and Swank respectively, in their character performances.
The true implications and ongoing effects of this case/trial towards patients rights and the pharmaceutical companies is only touched on slightly and is the underling problem.
C/P
55 Steps is based on the life of Eleanor Riese, a patient who sued for her right to refuse antipsychotic medication. Eleanor Riese was diagnosed with schizophrenia when she was 25. At the time of the trial in 1989, she was 44 and had been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for several years preceding her case.
Patients' Rights lawyer Colette Hughes meets her new client, Eleanor Riese, a patient in the psychiatric unit of a San Francisco hospital.
She is about to take on an uphill legal battle to improve treatment for mental patients in hospitals.
Morton Cohen continued teaching law until two months before his death on April 12, 2018 at age 82.
While he was in the hospital, in his last weeks, he was still working on a case advocating for better treatment for nursing-home patients.
The Riese decision was a major step toward reforming America's mental health system by empowering patients and improving communication between patients and their doctors about individual treatment needs.

The 55 Steps title refers to the number of steps Eleanor walked up to get to the court room (including the steps outside).
