Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Director Stanley Kramer's socially conscious 1961 film tackles the subject of the war crime trials arising out of World War II in an earnest and straightforward fashion, exploring the consciousness of two nations as they struggle to come to terms with the aftermath of the Holocaust. Spencer Tracy plays the American judge selected to head the tribunal that will try the suspected war criminals. As he sets about his task, he must confront the raw emotion felt by the German people, and his own notions of good and evil, right and wrong. Regarded as a classic, this stark rendering of one of the most pivotal events in the 20th century features a stellar cast including Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Marlene Dietrich, a young William Shatner, and Maximillian Schell, who won an Oscar for his role as counsel for the defense for those charged with crimes against humanity. Judgment at Nuremberg is important viewing not only for the history of film, but for the history of modern times. --Robert Lane

Rating:  - How easily we fool ourselves
This old movie is obviously well done but the full impact of it just sank in for me. This is not about how evil the German people were--they were and are no more evil than anyone else. The real message of this film is about how easily we can justify evil behavior when it's sold under the guise of patriotism. And how easily fear and self-interest leads to an inability to "see" the evil. Americans in particular ought to view this film again and again, with their eyes wide open.
Rating: - essential viewing
I am old enough to have been deeply moved by JUDGEMENT at NURENBERG when it was first released, and decided to take another look at it while reading Sand's recent book, TORTURE TEAM: RUMSFELD'S MEMO AND THE BETRAYAL OF AMERICAN VALUES.
Many of the moral questions involving the Nazi judges who were on trial in this film's historical dramatization could be validly directed at the lawyers who recently justified (rationalized?) the apparent torture of prisoners at Guantanamo.

Rating: - Thought Provoking Film; Moving Performances
Director Stanley Kramer's classic masterpiece, JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG explores one of the world's darkest periods - World War II and the Holocaust - with a deeply moving plot and stellar performances from a magnificent cast. From screen veterans Spencer Tracy, Marlene Dietrich, Richard Widmark, and Burt Lancaster to relative newcomers, including William Shatner, Maximillian Schell and Werner Klemperer, the film explores the theme of individual complicity in actions of the state, while weaving a complex ...

Rating: - A must see movie
Like with all hollyweird movies they leave out stuff and change the story a little. However, I really enjoyed this because it brought that infamous trial to life and did it fairly accurately from what i can tell
Rating: - "Judgment at Nuremberg" and Mahler
I just watched this superb film for the first time today, and I agree with the general consensus about its power, its excellence, the performers, and more. It's hard to single out best performances, since Tracy, Schell, Lancaster, Garland, Dietrich, and Clift all turned in glittering gems. I'd probably rate Schell's as the best major character and Clift's as the best supporting character; his performance left me in tears.
The night before, I was at a concert of Mahler's Ninth Symphony. The ... Read More
