Kramer's best?


As great as his other work is, this certainly competes for the top spot. What does everyone else think?

I usually don't think of Kramer as too "cinematic" a director, but there are some very subtle camera moves and dissolves here that rank with the masters.

I saw this film only earlier tonight and I can't stop gushing about it.

However, his follow-up movie and fellow courtroom drama, "Judgement at Nuremberg" (1961), is his greatest masterpiece.
