Nuremberg(1948)

Review

Remastered and restored, with new narration by Liev Schreiber, the Allies’ original documentary about the Nuremberg trials is a riveting piece of historical evidence, more powerful than any fictional courtroom drama could hope to be.

Unearthed

Nuremberg was originally suppressed in the U.S. by the War Department with little explanation, though it’s possible that the government didn’t want to impede public acceptance of its plans to rebuild the German economy. Implausibly enough, Film Forum’s screening of Stuart Schulberg’s 1948 documentary marks the film’s U.S. premiere.
