When the film makers take a real story and overload it with details that don't make any good to the main topic it's a sign of failure.
Even the brilliant actor Maximilian Schell could not play that drivel. I met hundreds of Holocaust survivors. I had them among my family and friends. My in-law survived Auschwitz after he saw how his mother and little sisters were taken to the gas chambers. However, none of those people who went through unthinkable suffering behaved in such a crazy manner that Maximilian Schell shows to us.
The court proceedings in this movie are highly impossible. And the side story about two successful lawyers who are unable to find a babysitter for their daughter is just laughable.
It's a pity that an excellent team of movie makers lost a great opportunity and produced a cheap soap opera that is instantly forgettable.
