    Spocklight At the Movies 40: Judgment at Nuremberg

    Paul once told us that when they think of William Shatner, the first of his acting roles that comes to mind was that of Captain Harrison Byers from Stanley Kramer's Judgment at Nuremberg from 1961, long before Shatner stepped onboard the Starship that would change his life.   In this episode, after over nine years of podcasting, we finally discover why that was as we examine this star-studded Courtroom drama.    As usual you can find SPOCKLIGHT on: X - @spocklightpod INSTAGRAM – @spocklightpod BLUESKY - @spocklightpod.bsky.social FACEBOOK – https://www.facebook.com/spocklightpod/ EMAIL - spocklightpod@gmail.com Please Follow, like, share and all that good stuff.   Credit for our wonderful theme music goes to the incredibly talented, Adam Johnston’s, you can find more of his work at - https://adamjohnstonuk.bandcamp.com/ Our beautiful artwork was created by Stephen Trumble, see more on Instagram @stephentrumbleanimation
