The pictures shown in this movie are still in black-and-white style as it was released in 1961. Actually the pictures were good, but viewers can not enjoy it fully as the black-and-white pictures will really bother them. It is the only weakness I can found in this movie and it is really unfortunate but it also still can be accepted as it was a 1961 movie. Talking about actors and actresses, they casted excellently in the movie. They did their job very well. As they did it very well, while watching we will feel tense, sad, happy, sometimes we will feel anger based on what is being shown in the screen. Based on its title, Judgment at Nuremberg, it’s not a kind of an entertaining movie. It’s a kind of a learning movie especially in purpose of law learning, historical learning, and political learning as it always talking about laws, justices, politics, history, and many more in relation with those aspects and very few times it shows the other aspect. So for those who are seeking the happiness and entertainment, this movie is not recommended. But for those who want to know more about law, tribunal, politics, and history, this movie is highly recommended as me myself rate this film 4,5 of
