JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG


 "JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG" (1961)

MY THOUGHTS ... This movie is both powerful and important, due to it being a true story that depicts its impact on history, as it creates world-wide interest. The writing and the acting (by an incredible ensemble cast) are both excellent! Everyone should watch this movie at least once in their life, and the earlier in their life the better! These are important proceedings, that directly address an evil, that we can never allow or tolerate again!
SYNOPSIS: "In 1947, four German judges who served on the bench during the Nazi regime face a military tribunal to answer charges of crimes against humanity. Chief Justice Haywood (Spencer Tracy) hears evidence and testimony not only from lead defendant Ernst Janning (Burt Lancaster) and his defense attorney Hans Rolfe (Maximilian Schell), but also from the widow of a Nazi general (Marlene Dietrich), an idealistic U.S. Army captain (William Shatner) and reluctant witness Irene Wallner (Judy Garland)."
STARRING: Spencer Tracy, Maximilian Schell, Burt Lancaster, Marlena Deitrich, Montgomery Clift, Richard Windmark, Judy Garland, William Shatner, Werner Klemperer and Edward Binns.
