When Bill Shatner Was Young

[akirlu]

I can't help thinking that the dogged frequency with which cable station Retroplex is replaying Judgment at Nuremberg indicates someone in the programming department making a political point. Certainly the judicial summary at the end, as delivered by Spencer Tracy, becomes a carrilon descant of peals being rung over the collective heads of America if viewed in the light of current events. It's worth the movie, that speech. That and discovering that William Shatner was ever that young. Good lord.

They used an old William Shatner lawyer movie in an episode of Boston Legal last season to show a young Denny Crane and his father (Ralph Bellamy) handling a case as Father and Son in B&W flash back.

It was pretty good TV.

The scary thing is just how old Shatner actually is now. He's the same age as my mother...

You could well be right.

Reminds me of the time TCM just happened to be screening A Face in the Crowd during the 2004 Bush inauguration.

Then this should blow you away. The Brothers Karamazov, 1958. He would have been 27.

Wiliam Shatner never made anything but ST. All the rest is the work of his evil twin, Ratner...
