"Taking Sides" is a 1995 play by British playwright Ronald Harwood, about the post-War U.S. "denazification" investigation of the German conductor and composer Wilhelm Furtwängler on charges of having served the Nazi regime. Harwood drew inter alia on a detailed diary kept by Furtwängler of his interrogation sessions. Although the investigation that is the focus of the play resulted in formal charges being brought against Furtwängler, he was eventually cleared by the tribunal.

In 2001 the play was converted into a motion picture directed by Hungarian director István Szabó,starring Harvey Keitel as the lead American investigator, Major Steve Arnold, and featuring Stellan Skarsgård in the role of Furtwängler.
