Judgment at Nuremberg

Fictionalized depiction of the 1947 Judges' Trial, the third of twelve trials of Nazi war criminals conducted by the American occupying forces in Nuremberg, Germany, in which former judges of Nazi Germany were tried for their actions.


Details

Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) offers a powerful fictionalized portrayal of the 1947 Judges' Trial, set in Nuremberg, Germany. This landmark trial was part of the American occupation forces' efforts to bring Nazi war criminals to justice following World War II. The film focuses on former judges of Nazi Germany who are being tried for their complicity in the atrocities committed during the war.

As the trial unfolds, tensions rise as the defendants and their defenders argue that they were simply following orders and upholding the law at the time. The prosecuting attorneys, on the other hand, seek justice for the victims and highlight the ethical responsibility of these judges.

Through compelling courtroom drama and powerful performances, Judgment at Nuremberg explores complex moral questions about personal responsibility, justice, and the impact of judicial decisions on society. The film prompts viewers to reflect on the consequences of turning a blind eye to injustice and the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions, even in times of war.

The Night Watch 2011

In post-war London, Viv Pearce is dating Reggie and runs a dating bureau with Helen Giniver, who lives with her older lover, authoress Julia Standing. Viv's younger brother Duncan, a gay man made to feel ashamed of his orientation, has been in prison and is sought out by his ex-cell-mate, Robert Fraser, who served time as a conscientious objector and is now concerned for the young man's welfare. Viv encounters Kay Langrish, a wealthy, reclusive, butch lesbian and for both women this evokes memories of the period three years earlier (1944) when Kay was an heroic ambulance driver in a happy, loving relationship with Helen -- before Kay introduced her to her ex-lover Julia. At that time, Viv and Reggie are forced to procure the services of a dentist moonlighting as an abortionist. About to die from blood loss, and having been abandoned by Reggie, Kay saves her from prosecution by claiming she was a married woman who had miscarried. Three years before that (1941) Kay and Julia are still an item and Viv meets unhappily married soldier Reggie on a train. Kay pulls Helen from the wreckage of a bombed house, finding the innocent young woman she has always wanted to love and care for. We also learn the gruesome details of why Duncan was in prison, which follows a suicide pact with the boy he loved, in response to the war and the draft. As the scene returns to 1947 there are happier endings for some and optimist outlooks for others as they move forward.
