    Editorial Reviews

    After the end of World War II, the world gradually became aware of the full extent of the war crimes perpetrated by the Third Reich. In 1948, a series of trials were held in Nuremberg, Germany, by an international tribunal, headed by American legal and military officials, with the intent of bringing to justice those guilty of crimes against humanity. However, by that time most of the major figures of the Nazi regime were either dead or long missing, and in the resulting legal proceedings American judges often found themselves confronting the question of how much responsibility someone held who had "just followed orders." Judgment at Nuremberg is a dramatized version of the proceedings at one of these trials, in which Judge Dan Haywood (Spencer Tracy) is overseeing the trials of four German judges -- most notably Dr. Ernst Janning (Burt Lancaster) and Emil Hahn (Werner Klemperer) -- accused of knowingly sentencing innocent men to death in collusion with the Nazis. Representing the defense is attorney Hans Rolfe (Maximilian Schell), while prosecuting the accused is U.S. Col. Tad Lawson (Richard Widmark). As the trial goes on, both the visiting Americans and their reluctant German hosts often find themselves facing the legacy of the war, and how both of their nations have been irrevocably changed by it. Judgment at Nuremberg also features notable supporting performances by Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, and Montgomery Clift. Originally written and produced as a play for television, the screen version of Judgment at Nuremberg was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, with Maximilian Schell and Abby Mann taking home Oscars for (respectively) Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay.

    A Very Emotional Dramaby JCarter

    Reader Rating:
    See Detailed Ratings

    August 19, 2009: After the Nazi leaders were tried for war crimes, the lesser officials who followed Hitler and his laws found themselves facing the music. In this case, judges who had passed sentences on Jews and others for nothing more than being different found themselves judged. The cast headed by Spencer Tracy as a judge for the United States and Burt Lancaster as a former Nazi judge were beyond their usual high quality. Among those testifying against Lancaster are Judy Garland, Montgomery Cliff, and Marlene Dietrich. The film was taken from cases tried in Nuremberg and is very emotional and dramatic.

    August 10, 2005: A great movie that is always timeless. A cast that would be hard to duplicate at today's costs. I have see this movie many times over the last 20 years and each time it seems more important. The last line still rings in my ears. If you only buy one DVD this year it should be this one.
