The Man in the Glass Booth (Original screenplay for the 1975 film)

N.p.: N.p., 1974. Draft script for the 1975 film.

In Manhattan, a Jewish man who is a Holocaust survivor is arrested by Israeli agents for Nazi war crimes. The trial reveals him to be innocent but also leads to the decline of his mental well being in the courtroom. Maximilian Schell was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor.

The film version was initially disowned by the playwright, likely due to the negative reception and early closure of the play due to public misunderstanding of its meaning. Shaw changed his mind after seeing the finished film, but it was by that time too late to add his name to the credits, and he died a few years later. Almost completely unavailable for viewing in any form for nearly twenty years, the film was remastered and released on DVD in 2010.

Set in New York City and Israel, shot on location in New York City and Los Angeles.
