JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG
Marlene Dietrich:
The only really admirable actor with whom I worked was Spencer
Tracy; unfortunately my role in JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG
was a small one.
[...]
In 1961, the director, Stanley Kramer, came to Las Vegas and
asked me to act in JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG. After that
film I never again set foot in a film Studio. Since Hollywood
thought I would dominate the whole film, I didn't have an
evenly matched partner. The fact that Spencer Tracy's name
was on the film credits certainly influenced my decision to
take the role.
[…]
I can no more judge JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG today than
I could when it was being filmed. But if the film was successful
to some extent, it was due to Tracy. He was a stamp testifying
to quality. A wonderful man, Spencer Tracy was a wonderful
actor as well.
[…]
We played together in a good scene, though it was not written
with great skill, which revolved around a cup of coffee. I
trembled when I had to speak my line, tense with fear that
I might not get the right tone and the audience might laugh
at the wrong moment. But Tracy made the matter easier for
us.
So, after JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG, I no longer wanted
to do a film.
