The unflinching performances are extra impressive with all the crash zooms and encircling shots. Meticulous dialogue and a warm lead
“it came to that the first time you sentenced a man to death you knew to be innocent”
Amazing film especially because was barely 15 years after the end of WWII. Possibly most people's first eyes on the atrocities of the camps.
A gripping courtroom drama exploring moral complexities of post-WWII justice, featuring stellar performances and thought-provoking themes.
A great historical drama that should be seen by all
Schell is beyond briliant in this historic court room drama

Very serious drama, tough subject matter, but also riveting. One of the best courtroom films ever
Great films about justice for those who suffered under the Nazis, and bout what is the amount of responsibility the Nazi officials have
One of the best WWII films in cinema history! Great script and superb performances!
