On August 8, Polanski plead guilty to the charge of unlawful sex with a minor. Judge Rittenband ordered the director to a psychiatric study as a prelude to sentencing. On September 19 the judge allowed Polanski a 90-day delay for this so he could work on "The Hurricane", which was to now start in January 1978. Then the judge saw a newspaper photo of Polanski at Oktoberbest in Munich and, worried the director was on holiday, ordered a new hearing in October.
