...Judgment at Nuremberg (at the Saxon, LI 2-4600) if you want to relax. Too many characters in it rant and shout; too often the camera sweeps in dizzying circles. One is left physically exhausted at the end. But it is, perhaps, worth it to see Judy Garland gone to seed (way over the rainbow) and hear Marlene Dietrich sing a snatch of Lili Marlene.

These people should realize that there is a wealth of professional film-making skill in Hollywood, capable of more power and subtlety than any other cinema in the world...
