"Inherit the Wind"... with Spencer Tracy . A cautionary speech, even in these "enlightened times".
",,, Because
Fanaticism and Ignorance is forever busy and needs
feeding. And soon your honor, with banners flying and with drums beating, we'll be marching backwards...
backward through the
glorious ages of that 16th century when bigots
BURNED the man who dared bring enlightenment and intelligence to the human mind!

"Judgement at Nuremburg" with Spencer Tracy (and a very young William Shatner)
"There are those in our own country too who today speak of the protection of country, of survival. A decision must be made in the life of every nation, at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat, then it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy...to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Only, the answer to that is ...survival as what? A country
isn't a rock. Its not an extension of oneself. Its what it stands for, its what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult. Before the people of the world, let it now be noted, that here in our decision, that
this is what we stand for... Justice, Truth, and the Value of a
single human being.
