A moving and important picture.” This gripping, provocative and powerful
film sheds a controversial light on the darkest era in modern history. Nominated*
for eleven OscarsÒ including Best Picture, Judgement at Nuremberg contains
searing performances by an all-star cast that includes Burt Lancaster, Marlene
Dietrich and Judy Garland. American judge Daniel Haywood (Spencer Tracy) presides
over the trial of four German jurists accused of “legalizing” Nazi
atrocities. But as graphic accounts of sterilization and murder unfold in the
courtroom, mounting political pressure for leniency forces Haywood into making
the most harrowing and difficult decision of his career. His actions –
and those of the other trial participants – make for fascinating, poignant
and “continuously exciting” (The New Yorker) entertainment!
