Quite possibly the most riveting and masterfully filmed courtroom dramas I have ever seen. While I hear that Kramer went on to become a studio hack, he hit it out of the park here. I honestly couldn't believe that a director could utilize the space of a room in the ways that Kram... read more
I did not think much of Kramer's previous courtroom drama, "Inherit the Wind" which also starred Spencer Tracy. But the mere premise and ensemble starcast of "Judgment at Nuremberg" was reason enough to rent this film and give it a shot.
Inspired by true events, this fictiona... read more
There are two reasons to watch this movie: the all-star cast and the educational/intelligent view of WWII. These reasons weren't good enough to get a higher rating in my opinion, the movie is very long and boring. Overall a pretty good movie, it would have been better if it had... read more
This is not just a film. No, a film is a story that is told with a certain perspective. This story was black and white to many. Making the gray areas apparent was all in Kramer's direction, and the amazing cast. Performances by Tracy, Garland, Lancaster, and Clift stand out as mu... read more
Black screen and a German marching song. An overture nearly four minutes long. A three hours long film, but never overlong. A supporting and amazing cast. Some heartbreaking acting like Judy Garland as Irene Hoffman Wallner. Breathtaking. After such Nazi atrocities, all tha... read more
A cast of legends and an excellent screenplay made easier for Stanley Kramer to achieve such powerful and compelling courtroom drama. A film that any person should have the opportunity to watch, especially the world leaders.
I caught all but the last two minutes but I really liked it. It's full of great performances, namely from Burt Lancaster. It also asks a lot of great ethical questions as well. At a running time of about 3 hours its definitely not for everyone but a must for WWII history buffs.
The movie was a bit long, but all the performaces were engaging. It really shows you there's no black and white when dealing with world war II.
A compelling 3-hour courtroom drama with fantastic performances especially from Spencer Tracy and Max Schell in his Oscar-winning role. Most of the courtroom scenes keep you on the edge of your seat. A very good history lesson and great filmmaking/writing all around.
Grade: A
Watchable enough on its own terms, but insufferably glib next to something like Shoah. Full Review
Important fictionalized intense courtroom drama, which at times was engrossing. Full Review
Abordando o complexo tema com honestidade, inteligência e humanidade, esta obra-prima repleta de atuações inesquecíveis é um atestado da capacidade do Cinema em servir não só como retrato de nossa His...
A tpical Stanley Kramer's film: Serious (even pompous) and humanist, but essentially middlebrow, courtroom drama that while well-acted is too verbose and fearful of taking sides in the controversy ove... Full Review
There are no surprises in the direction, and Abby Mann's screenplay plays the expected tunes, but there's enough conviction on display to reward a patient spectator. Full Review
A rare cinematic exploration of the messy, difficult aftermath of evaluating culpability, not only for the Nazi masterminds, but also for innumerable officials and functionaries… Full Review
An eloquent snapshot of the way that the ground was shifting--in both the Nuremberg of 1948 and the Tinsel Town of 1961. Full Review
In the grand tradition of courtroom dramas, Nuremberg has the distinction of being probably the most "important" of them all - even if it's not the most blatantly entertaining Full Review
