So Judgement At Nuremberg

One of the few times I've thought Clift really lived up to the acting plaudits he received. He's haunting in this, stunning to see how a handsome man (yes, somewhat ravaged by then, but still good-looking) could appear so completely and utterly destroyed on-camera. Apparently he was experiencing so many memory and mental problems due to his addictions at this point that he could barely recall his lines, but it worked to his advantage in making his delivery so halting and harrowing. And Schell is brilliant--though he had other good roles down the years, he never again did anything that really equalled this.
