DIETRICH: JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG

Director: STANLEY KRAMER

190 mins, USA, 1961, Digital, Black & White


Following the Second World War, Dietrich’s focus turned to her career as a magnificently well-paid cabaret artiste, although she made occasional appearances for the likes of Alfred Hitchcock (Stage Fright, 1950) and Orson Welles (Touch Of Evil, 1958). In this, her last significant role and one that obviously had personal resonance, she proved unafraid to step out of the limelight as part of a sterling ensemble cast including Spencer Tracy, Judy Garland, Montgomery Clift, and William Shatner. A fictionalised recounting of 1947’s Judges’ Trial at Nuremberg, this clear-eyed and complex film made for a memorable end to Dietrich’s film career.

Screening as part of the Dietrich X Garbo Season.
