A great film about the trials. Spencer Tracy heads up the cast as the Judge. Marlene Dietrich is also in it.
The best scene comes midway through the film.
Tracy and Dietrich meet for dinner in a bier keller. Dietrich is the widow of a an executed GenerL and she has grown close to Tracey.
Tracey has come from court after watching allied film of Belsen and doesnt feel like eating. Dietrich tries to convinve him that they did not know about the atrocities. Tracey just stares at her as the oompah music blares in the background and everyone sings beer hall songs. Its wrirren all over his face.
Its mesmerising stuff. Acting and film making of a higher order. An attractive cultured woman jusrifying the most awful acts. It could happen any where.
