Judgment at Nuremberg (1961)
Country: US
Technical: bw 179m
Director: Stanley Kramer
Cast: Spencer Tracy, Marlene Dietrich, Burt Lancaster, Richard Widmark, Maximilian Schell, Montgomery Clift
Synopsis:
Allied judges sit and consider the question of those Nazis of their profession who abused their powers during the Third Reich, amid political pressure not to rock the boat too much on account of the Cold War.
Review:
Acting and direction first-rate, with some rather pointed zooms showing off the (relatively) new technology. This is the kind of serious-minded all-star spectacular it has become fashionable to despise as over-literal in more recent times, but remember that Kramer was almost alone in attempting to make films that would educate and entertain us in equal measure.
