Nuremberg before Nuremberg

None Shall Escape (1944)

Directed by Andre De Toth this film stars Alexander Knox, Marsha Hunt, Henry Travers and Erik Rolf. After the war a German officer stands trial for his crimes and we learn his path to Nazism via flashback.

This film is notable for being made before the end of the war but predicting the post war events of the Nuremberg trials. Unfortunately the story is not that deep, or even reflects the full horrors of Nazi rule and as a court room drama it is not that compelling either. While the film is fairly well made again the execution is not especially remarkable either.


3/5
