explosive melodrama

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2009)

I had recently seen this great movie,but in three parts because its so long i did'nt watch it all at once.but its an awesome reenactment of the Nuremberg trial of 1949.explosive performances by all involved including;Burt Lancaster,Montgomery clift,Judy garland,Richard widmark,and mostly by Maximilian shell as the defense attorney for the accused Nazis.the judge was played by Spencer Tracy who has the pressure of the united states and Germany.in smaller roles Marlene Dietrich and pre capt.kirk;William shatner.the Nazis were a scary and threatening presence during world war 2.and this movie does show some scenes of concentration camp horrors.i think Stanley Kramer was one of the all time great directors.and like that old saying they don't make em like this anymore.I'm surprised someone in Hollywood has'nt thought of remaking this film.i repeat this is an awesome explosive film.and i highly recommend it.but pay attention to it.be warned its long,close to 3 hours.and filmed in black and white in 1961.10 out of 10 can i go higher?i wish.
