THE MAN IN THE GLASS BOOTH (1975)

Cast

Plot

Arthur Goldman, a rich Jewish industrialist who lives in luxury in Manhattan and is irreverent about many things Jewish, is arrested by Israeli secret agents for, allegedly, being a Nazi war criminal. Robert Shaw turned playwright to create this brilliant drama, inspired by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, concerned with guilt, paranoia, conspiracy theories and martyrdom. Directed by Arthur Hiller, Maximilian Schell was deservedly Oscar-nominated for his tour-de-force central performance.
