Excellent movie. If it didnt win an academy award it definetly should have. a movie that should be shown regularly on TV. Tracy & Lancaster were excellent in their roles as well as Dietrich. All of the acting was excellent for that matter.

One of the best movies I've ever seen and I'm more of an action movie guy. Definitely worth the 3 hours of viewing just to hear the last line. Some of the most powerful performances I have seen, If you liked Montgomery Clift in Red River you will be shocked at what a great performance he gave in this one. Too bad they couldn't give Oscars to everyone in this movie.

Everything about this film, except for the gruesome topic it deals with, is great! It's another notch on Tracy's belt as a marvelous actor, but the other characters also turn in A+ performances,. Its a compelling movie, dealing with the Holocaust, and the aftermath of judgment on the officials who were involved in aiding Hitler's rise to complete, unquestionable power. This era was heartbreaking and egregious, but it seems the whole world was to blame for this slaughter of millions. No one wanted to be involved, and the Holocaust was the result of ignoring Hitler. When this movie is watched, we should also watch Nuremberg with Alec Baldwin. Never Again, we say, but the world has drifted back to sleep,

It starts off really slow; just German music playing for about 5 minutes, but is seems to be historically accurate. Spencer Tracy plays the main character - an American judge who has to determine if German judges, who condemned prisoners to the concentration camps, or to be sterilized, did so lawfully, during the Third Reich. A very powerful movie.

The movie is based on history. The characters portray hr trials held after World War 2. It's not a movie that can be described as entertaining because of the subject matter. However, most of the cast were excellent in delivering the message. Parts of the movie can be used in the classroom in introducing and teaching about the Holocaust.
