American film director and producer known for socially conscious, issue-driven films and courtroom dramas.

Directed and produced films that addressed social issues; Judgment at Nuremberg is among his best-known works.

A close, admiring reading of Judgment at Nuremberg (Italian title: Vincitori e Vinti). Highlights the film's moral complexity, courtroom debates, standout performances and the shocking use of concentration-camp footage. Praises screenplay by Abby Mann and the cast; considers historical context and America’s own moral contradictions.

For:Fans of classic cinema, students of film and history, readers interested in courtroom dramas and films about moral and social issues.

 “A nation isn’t a territory, nor merely a conglomerate of people. A nation is in the principles it upholds, when upholding a principle is the hardest thing to do. If all the heads of the Third Reich were sadists, maniacs, then their misdeeds would have no more moral significance than an earthquake or any natural catastrophe, but this trial has shown that, in times of national crisis, ordinary people, and even those who are capable and exceptional, can induce themselves to commit crimes so great and heinous as to challenge any imagination.”
