Truly one of the greatest movies of the twentieth century.

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2005)

I am almost 70 years old, and have been watching movies since I was less than 10. This movie is one of the top ten movies I have ever seen. It was well acted, well directed, and made an important historical point. Namely, that it is the responsibility (not the right) of good men to disobey bad laws. When you commit an immoral act, the fact that it is legal, or in keeping with the law at the time, is not a good enough excuse. This point was driven home by the script of "Judgment". When Spencer Tracy tells the Nazi judge that he destroyed his creditability the first time he sentenced a man to death that he knew to be innocent, the power of this movie comes into focus. I believe it should be required viewing in every law school of the land. William E. Graham, Salem, Oregon
