Judgement at Nuremborg: The Verdict
(Spencer Tracey) I was going to order the movie for my son, who is confused about torture prosecutions. Found this clip from the movie. WOW. I had forgotten how stunning the performance was, and amazed at how it speaks to us today.

3. I can't count the number of times I have watched that movie...
and it has the same profound effect on me each time. Given the current times, it really is a MUST-SEE movie for those who have not yet seen it. It's focus on the deliberate perversion of the law by German judges and others provides a mirror to what has happened in the US during the Bush Administration, imo.
