Maximilian Schell - obituary
Maximilian Schell was an Oscar-winning actor whose Teutonic intellect made him one of Hollywood’s best-loved foreign stars
Maximilian Schell, the actor, who has died aged 83, was – with Maurice Chevalier and Marcello Mastroianni – widely recognised as one of the most successful non-anglophone foreign actors in the history of American cinema.
Comparatively unknown when he won an Oscar for his role as a German lawyer in Judgment at Nuremberg (1961), he went on to co-star in many other acclaimed films, including Richard Attenborough’s A Bridge Too Far (1977).
With a screenplay by Abby Mann, Judgment at Nuremberg was set in 1948 at the time of the Nazi war crimes trials. But rather than dealing with the trials of the better-known Nazi leaders, the film turned the spotlight on members of the German judiciary who had served in Hitler’s regime.
