Trama
Scritto da Abby Mann che adattò un suo teledramma, il film ricostruisce in chiave romanzesca il processo di Norimberga del 1948 contro i criminali di guerra nazisti. Questa verbosa maratona giudiziaria è, forse, il più compatto e armonioso film del produttore-regista Kramer, e un tipico frutto culturale della presidenza di J.F. Kennedy. Saggio di oratoria democratica ad alto livello, è affidato a un all star cast nel quale bisogna segnalare i brevi e intensi interventi di J. Garland e M. Clift. 8 nomination ai premi Oscar e 2 statuette, una per lo sceneggiatore Abby Mann e l'altra a M. Schell.
