THREE MOVIES, "JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG", "HUGO" AND "BLINK"

    Of late, I find myself enjoying movies from the '70s and earlier decades on streaming services.  In this phase, I watched Satyajit Ray movies, an underrated black and white Hollywood movie called "The night of the hunter" and an Italian movie, "The hand of God". I find now that "The night of the hunter" is regarded as a precursor to horror movies of a later age. It is a good thriller.     This blog post is on three other movies though, one of which is a Kannada movie that my wife and I watched in a multiplex near us.     The first movie I want to write about is "Judgement at Nuremberg". I stumbled upon this movie unexpectedly on a streaming service. For an English movie, it is  a long one lasting around three hours. It is based on the Nuremberg trials, which is discussed at https://www.britannica.com/event/Nurnberg-trials and https://avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/judwarcr.asp#general . The brutality of Nazism is brought out in the latter link.
