About Court Martial
In this war drama, three Nazi survivors are rescued after their battleship sank. Initially they are given heroes' accolades for their courage, but then it becomes apparent that these men actually jumped ship three hours before the boat sank. The men are tried and subsequently executed.
Directed by Kurt Meisel, Court Martial leans on a strong ensemble — Karlheinz Böhm, Christian Wolff, Klaus Kammer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 1959.
