Review of Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) by Scott R — 25 Aug 2015
A highly underrated and important classic film with one of the best casts assembled on film. This picture is not just important, but also engaging and entertaining. Spencer Tracy might have lost the Best Actor Oscar to his fellow co-star Maximillian Schell, but he delivered a performance that's unique to his career.
He has often played curmudgeonly roles and has done a great job in doing so, but this is a completely new and sympathetic Spencer Tracy...a characteristic that often appeared in his other films, but is more prominent here.
However, the rest of the cast, including Judy Garland, Marlene Deitrich, Burt Lancaster, and Montgomery Clift are also superb and different than what the audience have come to expect of them.
