The Man in the Glass Booth
The kidnapping... The masquerade... The murder trial... Perhaps the most suspenseful shocker of our time.
Directed by Arthur Hiller
Produced by The Ely Landau Organization Inc., Cinévision Ltée
A psychologically complex courtroom thriller that uses the ambiguous identity of a Holocaust survivor accused of Nazi war crimes to interrogate guilt, trauma, and the nature of justice itself.
Arthur Goldman is a rich Jewish industrialist, living in luxury in a Manhattan high-rise. He banters with his assistant Charlie, often shocking him with his outrageousness and irreverent musings on aspects of Jewish life. Nonetheless, Charlie is astonished one day when Israeli secret agents burst in and arrest Goldman for being a Nazi war criminal. Whisked to Israel for trial, Goldman forces his accusers to face, not only his presumed guilt, but their own.
