He's right. Every actor in this movie was a brilliant professional. One of the best films ever made.
RIP Maximilian Schell (December 8, 1930 - February 1, 2014), aged 83
You will be remembered as a legend.
His performance in Judgement at Nuremberg is blew me away,he well deserved the Oscar R.i.P
Maximilian Schell was an INCREDIBLE actor.
May God rest him in peace!
He really was. I think he was an underrated actor. He was usually portrayed as “some German guy doing a World War II movie” but he really was much more versatile than that. Whether he played a good guy or a bad guy, he did it with class, skill, and heart. Another great that has unfortunately now left us.
May God be with him. RIP Max. We miss you.
A cast of giants, an extraordinary film.
What I love about Maximilian Schell is how versatile his career was. He played so many different parts in different languages. The first time he played in the Playhouse 90 version of Judgment at Nuremberg, he had been speaking English for only a year. Even though he made mistakes, his acting was top notched and passionate.
And to be honest, I think it really suit the role he was playing. An amazing actor.
Can see why he received the Oscar, he brought out so many emotions in film viewers. You loathed him, & his smirks; him representing the monsters that he did. Then suddenly halted by his flickering sympathy & humanity for Clift's horrendous situation, followed by that shocking closing argument of truth & the world's guilt, along with Germany's. One of the first acknowledgments of the "Industrial War Complex" - war for profit. I've only seen parts of the movie but enough to know that it's a brilliant film. Sometime I'll watch it in its entirety.
Yes this movie was based for 1961....I am glad they mentioned USA's industrial profiteering. I've leaned that Ford and Coca Cola were among many Anerican corporations who assisted both sides🧐😔
Max Schell was one of the greatest actors of all time. Rest in peace, Max.
He remained very handsone all his life
I first watched this movie on You Tube. I was blown away. I bought DVD and watched over and over again. Tracey and Maximillian were superb.
His older sister Maria was an excellent actress as well
Maximilian Schell is one of my favorite actors. He was great in "The Black Hole."
He really seemed to be a really nice guy in this interview. RIP Max and hope your acting in heaven is just as much fun as it was viewing you in your movies.
His daughter and niece might think otherwise.
He grew up in Zurich but his family fled Austria after the Anschluss.
He should have won an Oscar for his stunning, albeit brief, performance in the staggeringly brilliant 'Julia'
He loses his co-star Jason Robards.
JULIA with Schell, Jason Robards, Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave is a film filled with superb performances
His finest hour was Judgement at Nuremberg. He was brilliant!!!
Mr. Schell was brilliant in that film. He deserved that Oscar.
Max had a great role in an underrated movie , Disney's " The Black Hole " !
One of the saving parts of the movie is Max as Dr Reinhart , the mad genius who wants to take his ship , the Cygnus , through a black hole .
Mostly very campy , but Dr Reinhart's right hand , a robot named Maximilian was down right terrifying !!
A great actor he made me so pissed off at him in his role that's an actor he will be missed
Great performance by Schell (he won a well-deserved Oscar) as the defense attorney. Excellent film recreating a crucial moment in history: bringing to justice SS members who committed war atrocities.
I've always thought he was a very handsome and impeccable actor
Such a complex role.. If released today he would be loathed, but audiences of the day appreciated the trap the character was in..
just watched this on TV and I have to say the quality of acting is outstanding. It's easy to think that a lot of those old movie stars, were hams, but absolutely not. Richard Widmark, Judy Garland, Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Maximilian Schnell plus an amazing supporting cast.
I watched it last week.
His courtroom speech scene is hands down the #1 performance of all time in the history of Hollywood! That’s also the scene that won him the Oscar! 🏆
Max was a true force of nature. A genius. RIP.
I have been watching lots of holocaust stuff on netflix lately and we are familiar with? Used to? That liberation extermination camp footage. I can't imagine what it must have been like to see it for the first time. Battle hardened soldiers were sickened by what they found. Being a member of the public, seeing the pits of bodies must have been like looking into hell.
I can't imagine what it would have been like. Sad to think that what then General Eisenhower said came to be so very true - that so many would, in later years, refuse to believe it was true, had happened, or would profess that it was just propaganda. remember.org/facts-aft-lib-eis.html
Our history teacher showed us a book too look at ... old pictures in a book during a history lesson the book was very tatty this was 1970 in there were all these horrific pictures of what happened to the Jews during the war and I mean the really terrible ones with the body's thousands of the lieing on top of each other ...everyone in our class was very silent our teacher did Warn us that we didn't have to look at these pictures because they were very graphic ..as a child of 14 I thought I will look at them and when it was my turn my friend handed me the book and the look on her face when she did that... I just looked at this book and turn the pages and there's terrible pictures the Jews lying on top of each other hundreds of them.. it was heartbreaking I never forget that day at school and to this day I still haven't forgot..... my heart was breaking and I've just felt like bursting out crying how can this happen how can you once do this to each other I do remember it was 1970 and in those days the only information you have I got was through books not much on TV
Yes, It was.
My father in law was involved in a camp liberation (which camp I cannot recall). I did not know him, he passed before I met his daughter, but she says he said very little about it, and even less about his landing at Normandy.
How could a nation that we thought as civilized do such horrendous crimes to say the least in the history of humanity haunts me since a was a small child.
From "The Reluctant Saint" to The Trials of Nuremberg....Good Actors...is an Understatement
i randomly found the play house 90 version. and was wondering why it was not listed on schells filmography. then this came up. got to love the algorithm.
one of the most fascinating interesting talented actors in history
This was the best film I’ve ever seen
Mr. Schell...a GREAT...genuine artiste!!
All my life I've meant to watch the film and only last week did I see it. My god, what an achievement. Kramer's best film, the cast was magnificent, Tracy's best, led by a smart, economic and moving screenplay. Judgement at Nuremburg is a modern day masterpiece. I watched it twice.
Excellent performance in an excellent movie
Lo acabo de ver caracterizando a San José de Cupertino, enseguida vi en él a un maravilloso actor, y ahora me entero que fue galardonado. Dios bendijo su carrera. Dios le tenga en Su gloria por evangelizar con su gran talento!❤
What a man! And what a great movie!
Love that movie!!!
Wonderful actor!
guy smiley o
Moreover an outstanding human being.
GOD--What a brilliant man & actor.
From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.
He aged so much between 1961 and 2011
A brilliant actor
Schell's performance in JULIA(1977) with Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave.
So sad he is gone. would that Maximilian Schell could live forever. Or at least to 100.
RIP
Sgt. Steiner how do I reload!?
Good, I accept! I’ll show you how a Prussian officer can fight!
Then I’ll show you where the iron crosses grow!
Another great role of his. I think he and James Mason stole that movie. To be honest, any movie Max or James were in they were bound to be the shining stars. I also really like David Warner in that movie.
fucking INCREDIBLE...love this guy...
GOD BLESS Mister Schell!
Yad Vashem correlated all the non Jews who saved people and stood against this....a a thorough job of research. It included race, religion, family, education, income, age, everything. There was only ONE common trait...only one. They were the people who stop what they're doing to pick up stray dogs and cats...many carried food in their car to feed strays.
So when people wonder what they WOULD have done back then....well, there's the answer: compassion at one's inconvenience.
Awesome lawyer...BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah but he didn't know where Krakatoa was. 😂
I saw JaN as a CHILD and it shattered me. I have never been able to believe in the goodness of humans since. We are a depraved species, the good and noble among us are the rare exceptions. I include myself, I would not have initiated such brutality but doubt I woud have had the courage to stand up and risk my life to oppose it.
People aren't inherently good. All of history shows that. Whether you believe that because of history, or like me, because of your faith, it's still true. So long as we continue to believe that we can "tolerate and understand" evil out of people, we'll continue to see the horrors that we see in the world. That's why, I believe (operative words - I believe) we see such a push for "tolerance and understanding" - because it's easier than having to admit that there are evil people in the world that simply won't change, as there are people who dedicate themselves to being as good as they can be.
TheDoctor1225 also the evil people are running the show and 'tolerance' and moral relativism makes it easier for them.
The duality of man. There can be no good without evil, love without hate, modesty without arrogance. No one has any more evil or goodness than their neighbour; it is just which side they end up relying upon more. We have a good conscience and a bad conscience. Anyone can choose which one to listen to. As humans, we are all flawed. We all make bad choices. Whether one learns from it is another matter.

@@oilersridersbluejays wrong there are people who are simply EVIL.
Max was Austrian
and Swiss
He said he was Swiss, but he was born in Austria. I wonder why he never mentioned that?
+Carolyn Argabright "The Schell family was forced to flee Vienna in 1938 to get "away from Hitler" after the Anschluss, when Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany. They resettled in Zurich, Switzerland." I think that's why.
His father was Swiss too.
Only a jerk like you would care.
He grew up in Switzerland from the age of 7 and had dual nationality. He spoke Swiss German as well.
Most know he was born in Austria. His family were conservatives but were anti-Nazi. They left Austria as a result and really, the only place they could go that was German speaking was Switzerland. No fault of the Schell family at all. Many Austrians and Sudetens may have embraced German annexation, but many also feared for their lives and fled, or attempted to flee.
man! he got old! I know the movie was back in 1961 and this interview is in 2011 but got damn!!!! 😮😮😮😮
He was 81 in this interview.
He's over80 here ! haha
If I look like him when I’m 80 I would consider myself lucky. He also suffered from diabetes by this time, which would age anyone.
He couldn't understand how humans could do these things to each other , yet he understood perfectly , the creep.
Whats wrong miss Kate??????
🤣👍

And that favorite actor is Mr. Shatner. Schell is good but Mr. Shatner's portrayal of Captain Kirk is absolutely one of the top in all film.
Really random but ok…
...yes, but with an actor's ego, clearly...
He lost none of his charm :)
All it takes is to call up a local mortuary and ask them "How long does it take you (with 2018 equipment) to cremate a body?"
End of story.
What's your point? Spell it out.
Alex GottmitUns Oy gevalt, I’m reporting you to the ADL!
The saddest part of this is that for someone like you, as with all unhinged conspiracy theorists, any information that could be presented to disprove whatever it is you think you're cleverly insinuating would be dismissed by you. For those who may stumble upon your asinine statement, go here. This would be the true "end of story," to use your words. Nazis, unlike civilian crematoriums, didn't worry about things like respect for the dead or returning the ashes of the deceased to their families. www.hdot.org/debunking-denial/ab4-civilian-ovens-comparison/
Max Schell gave Judy some credit for him winning the Oscar. When it came time to shoot Irene Hoffman's testimony on the witness stand, Judy send Max a note, which said hit me hard, show me no mercy, come after me HARD. MAKE ME MAD, REALLY MAD. HE DID WHAT SHE ASKED. I BELIEVE SHE SENT HIM ANOTHER NOTE, WHICH SAID. THANK YOU FOR BEING ME TO ME.
