Director Arthur Hiller, working from screenwriter Edward Anhalt's (Becket) adaptation, transforms actor-playwright Robert Shaw's The Man in the Glass Booth into a film the Los Angeles Times dubbed, "daring, outrageous, utterly provocative, endlessly ambiguous and strikingly effective."

  • Jinkies! THANKS for sharing this fascinating footage with us! Most people don't know this highly acclaimed play was written by the late great actor Robert Shaw, who was probably best known for his performance in the classic movie thriller "Jaws".

  • flopola

  • @BondoFox it was inspired by the Eichmann kidnapping.

  • @djbm73 According to IMDB - In a 2005 interview, Arthur Hiller confirmed that Robert Shaw asked that his name be put back on the film after he saw the finished movie. However, by that time, all prints had been made and it was too late to include his name in the titles. Alternatively, according to the DVD, another reason cited was because Robert Shaw had died.

  • Does anyone know what Robert Shaw's problem with the film was?

  • I agree Mr. Hammersley. . It is a Masterpiece and Mr. Schell is brilliant. Could any

    other actor have created the character that Schell did? Richard Burton perhaps.

    As a German, Mr. Schell reveals the pride and resignation of an officer in the Third

    Reich. But where does the self-loathing Jew come from? His character is possessed by both of them and he shifts from one to the other effortlessly. It

    is a remarkable performance.

    I was so impressed , I bought a ticket to the next show .

  • This should have won the 1975 academy awards for best film and best actor...

    I know "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was a good film but it and Jack Nicholson wasn't even in the same league as this masterpiece and Schell's performance...

    Make you wonder whether the Jewish Hollywood "powers that be" had something to do with it...

    (And before everyone jumps up and down yelling "BIGOT" at me, I'm Jewish OK?)

  • But Robert Shaw didn't approve - he disowned the movie!

  • what was the name of this movie? I don't think the trailer mentioned it....

  • The original play and novel on which this film is based was written by the actor Robert Shaw.

    It is a most intriguing piece of theatre with an bravura performance by Schell.
