Perfection in history and morale

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2019)

Amazing sets, fantastic camera work and movement, mind-blowing script, and genuinely beautiful production and direction by Stanley Kramer.
The leading performance by Maximilian Schnell which deservedly earned him the best leading actor Academy Award is fantastic, as is the one by Spencer Tracy and the rest of the supporting cast. In the beginning, Tracy is portrayed as an honest and capable judge in subtle hints that perfectly builds his character arc of integrity. Montgomery Clift portays more sadness and regret in his eyes than a whole script could ever pronouce, and his testimonial scene is touching and a significant part in the film.
Kramer installed one of the great masterpieces of American cinema.
