5.0 out of 5 stars A great film for a rainy day in November..., 9 Jun 2004

By	PM "polmac" (UK) - See all my reviews

This is a dark film about a dark subject, but don't be put off. It is also a stunning film that will grip you from beginning to end. The cast-list reads like a who's who of celluloid star quality: Spencer Tracey, Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland and others. All directed by the wonderful Stanley Kramer. Tracey plays a US judge at the Nuremberg Trials, who must sit in judgment over a group of Nazis accused of war crimes. With the new reality of the Cold War, there is pressure on the court to show leniency in order to win over the German people in the new struggle between East and West. It is a deeply troubling film that poses the question - did ordinary Germans know what was really happening, and if they did, where does culpability lie? Maximilian Schell plays a young German lawyer who argues that men cannot be found guilty for merely being loyal to their government; Lancaster plays one of the accused who argues for his own condemnation: 'I made my life excrement, because I walked with them'. All of the performances are excellent and some are among the most powerful you will ever see on celluloid. This is a great film for a rainy day in November.

4.0 out of 5 stars A difficult subject handled excellently by the director., 24 Jan 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Judgment At Nuremberg [VHS] [1961] (VHS Tape)

The difficult subject of sorting out culpability of the Nazi regime is handled very well by Stanley Kramer and his actors. The film is never on the side of any one party, the Nazis are shown to be often harried reluctantly to commit unspeakable acts and the Allies are seen to be sometimes persecuting a whole nation for truth. The cast are impeccable, Oscar winning Maximillian Schell projects noble indignaty to what Germany has now to face, and Spencer Tracy his usual excellent self, showing the sane face of American justice. Special notice must also go to Montgomery Clift and Judy Garland, both nearly at the end of their careers, and both giving performances of incredible intensity. The only fault of this film is the excessive running time, it often seems ponderous, but ultimately it evokes the pondering that Tracy and his judges had to do. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lawyers called to account for Atrocities, 15 Jun 2009

By	Mr. T. M. Randall "Tim Randall" (Oxford) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a marvellous film showing the complexity of the Nazi system and just how easily lawyers created laws that permitted atrocities. The Legal Cases at Nuremberg are fascinating. It is interesting to note the relevance of such cases nowadays, when lawyers have advocated the use of torture in the "War on Terror" and how Geneva Conventions have been put aside for short term political goals. It is brilliantly acted, and creates a sense of ambiguity fitting the complex issues when good men do bad things.
