Dear God Schell gave an amazing performance. Everyone, actually, but his performance was just so damn powerful

So, what is the thinking - She only sat on his lap in a 'daughterly' way? (i.e. they were not lovers, just very close)

Judy Garland was just excellent in that role!

I just watched that part. haven't watched the rest of the film though. Judy Garland was very sympathetic and memorable in that scene to me. wow! what a scene.

I've always loved his work. He is all-consuming in his roles. You might want to check out the documentary he made about his beautiful sister titled, Meine Schwester Maria.

To be included in such a monumental cast, and yet still able to stand out with such a powerful performance. A clear textbook case of Earning That Academy Award!

This line made me burst out laughing. It was probably the "You're the man now, dawg!" of its time.

One flaw---later in his cross examination, Schell demanded "Did you do anything else?" and Garland clearly answered "No". He continued to ask the question--that's when Widmark should've objected with "the witness has already answered the question"---his objection would have been sustained. But both Schell and Garland were great. See Max in "Topkapi".
