From a Barren Room. A young man of great energy, some talent, and no humility, Mann is currently the most active screenwriter in Hollywood. Since he won an Oscar last year for Judgment at Nuremberg, every Hollywood producer has been trying to sign him to write a script, and lucky actors whisper importantly to their friends that they have been cast "to do an Abby Mann." Later they whisper to Mann himself, saying what a great writer you are, darling. When a writer steps into that sort of atmosphere and is incautious enough to believe what the flatterers tell...
From standard Communist propaganda, or the much-praised movie 'Judgment at Nuremberg, one might conclude that West Germans have spent the past decade merely brushing Nazi crimes under the carpet. Not so. Obviously many Nazis have escaped justice, but since 1945 some 13,000 of Hitler's henchmen have gone on trial in West Germany, and about 5,000 have been sentenced to jail (there is no death penalty in West Germany).

They beat out Montgomery Clift and Judy Gar land of Judgment at Nuremberg, which probably reflects the voters' disapproval of major stars lusting after minor Oscars. In an upset almost as surprising as Sophia's, Switzerland's Maximilian Schell (Nuremberg} was named the best actor of the year. "How did all these foreigners get in here?" cracked Hope...
