 The Avalon Project : Nuremberg Trial Proceedings Vol. 10
KEITEL: I described this Standgericht (summary court-martial procedure) briefly yesterday, and the criterion of a summary courtmartial was that it was not always necessary for a fully trained legal expert to be present, although it was desirable.

 Keitel v. Heubel
Keitel sought a court order clarifying that, under California law, the Sheriff was authorized to pursue judgment execution on realty transferred into a revocable, inter vivos trust by a judgment debtor.
The nature of those arguments and the circumstances relating to Keitel' s efforts to enforce her judgment compel the conclusion that this appeal is frivolous both because it indisputably has no merit and it was taken solely for purposes of delay.
Keitel raised this argument in a motion to dismiss, which we indicated would be decided along with the appeal.

In Keitel, Hitler found exactly the type of officer he was seeking: someone who would carry out his commands to the letter and without question, a yes-man who would be content to be merely a glorified executive officer, without independent command prerogatives.

 Harvey Keitel
Sporting a Brooklyn accent and bulldog features, Harvey Keitel first gained recognition with a series of gritty roles in the early films of Martin Scorsese, and he was for a long time cast as one lowlife thug after another.
Keitel's work in 1992's Bad Lieutenant, Reservoir Dogs, and Sister Act further established him as an actor of previously unappreciated versatility, and in 1993 he proved this versatility when he starred in Jane Campion's exotic art drama The Piano, in which he famously appeared in the nude as Holly Hunter's lover.
Keitel continued to demonstrate his ability to play both hard-boiled gangsters and rough-edged nice guys throughout the rest of the decade, turning in one solid performance after another in such films as Pulp Fiction (1994), Clockers (1995), and Copland (1997).

 Bright Lights Film Journal | Harvey Keitel
Harvey Keitel, as rendered by film critic Marshall Fine in the first book-length biography of the actor, is a paradox.
Keitel's hand-wringing over being told his 30-years-younger girlfriend was cheating on him, his endless tiresome references to his spiritual struggle, and his accusations that Edward James Olmos (Bracco's new husband) was a child molester give him a sleazy, almost sinister quality.
Keitel's pivotal role in helping Quentin Tarantino launch his career via Reservoir Dogs (where the actor also received a well-deserved producer credit) is nicely detailed, as is the production of Blue Collar, where the warfare between Keitel, Richard Pryor, and Yaphet Kotto — who sometime came to blows — brought director Paul Schrader to tears.

At Nuremburg, Keitel was sentenced to death by hanging; a fate which Keitel knew awaited him as soon as he was informed of the trial.
The fate that Keitel did not attempt suicide to escape the trial shows us that in the end, Keitel was an honorable man whose only crime was to let himself fall totally under the spell of a Hitler.
Granted, Field Marshal Keitel was a rather pathetic and hollow man, but even a man such as he did not deserve to see is memoirs so badly taken care of by a bad publishing company and a clueless editor.

 Harvey Keitel
Zwar ist er seit seinem Debüt in Martin Scorseses "Wer klopft denn da an meine Tür?" (1968) bereits ein auffallender Charaktertyp, doch damals spielt er im Grunde immer nur sich selbst, etwa als Kumpel von Robert De Niro in "Hexenkessel", als Zuhälter in "Taxi Driver" (1976) und in "Alice lebt hier nicht mehr" (1974).
Doch Harvey Keitel webt nicht - wie andere - an seiner Legende, er bleibt in der Öffentlichkeit zurückhaltend, spricht kaum von sich, seiner Herkunft, seiner Familie und Vergangenheit.
Außerdem hatte Keitel Auftritte in den TV-Serien "Dark Shadows" (1966), "Einsatz in Manhattan" (1973), "FBI" (1974) und "Unglaubliche Geschichten" (1985).

 MMI Book Review: Harvey Keitel: The Art of Darkness
From his Brooklyn roots and youthful denial of his Jewish background, the book traces Keitel's evolvement from dedicated Marine to frustrated court reporter and, ultimately, to the fierce performer that he is today.
Thankfully, Keitel is a strong force with clearly defined ideals; his work ethic is more than a character component, it defines him as a person.
By the time Keitel earned any notice, it was 1976; he was 34 years old and the film was Martin Scorsese's "Mean Streets." For years, Keitel's name was synonymous with "unbankable." In Hollywood, this translates into career-death, hence, his long association with new directors and independent film.

Balancing a portable cassette player in one hand and a gun in the other, Jimmy lives in a world of contradictions in which his artistic frustrations fuel the violence needed for his professional obligations.
