At RKO Pantages Theatre, celebrities appeared en masse to support the John Tracy Clinic sponsored benefit premiere of Stanley Kramer's provocative "Judgment at Nuremberg," followed by a champagne party honoring the film. Mrs. Spencer Tracy, wife of the star of the film and president and founder of the Clinic, was in charge of the affair assisted by a star studded committee of Hollywood notables. Photograph caption dated December 27, 1961 reads, "'Schnozz' Durante gets an affectionate hello from Mrs. Robert Young, Richard Nixon."; See images #00049601 and #00125789 for all photos in this series.
