Review of Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) by Edgar C — 04 Nov 2012
A combination of chilling effect and brilliant performances courtesy of Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster and Maximilian Schell (who won an Oscar for this film) make this 3-hour courtroom drama about the Nuremberg trials of 1948 an unforgettable experience.
At times an intense courtroom drama, and at times a truly disturbing look into the eyes of the Nazi criminals whose shameless actions only fuel this film's purpose to detail its message, Judgment at Nuremberg never tires regardless of its somewhat-necessary running time.
The highlight of the film: Richard Widmark's monologue used during a frightening and horrific look at just some of the Nazi's treatment of Jews during the Holocaust which creates a spine-tingling effect that most films can hardly match.
