Definitely holds your attention.

"The Man in the Glass Booth" (1975) is a great adaptation of theater to film. Robert Shaw played the part of Arthur Goldman in the theater. The DVD also has extras on The American Film Theatre. This presentation has many great actors. I was surprised to see the second billing going to Lois Nettleton. Arthur Goldman (Maximilian Schell), a rich eccentric Jewish businessman who is schizophrenic, tells his assistant, Charlie Cohn (Lawrence Pressman), and doctor that he is being stalked. At first, they do not believe him. Soon they realize that he is being stalked. Soon we find that Goldman was not paranoid and was whisked away to Israel and tried as a war criminal named Dorf. Dorf confesses everything and says that by the time the title is over, he will have one. We follow the trial step by step with the interactions between Dorf and the prosecutor Miriam Rosen (Lois Nettleton). Did anyone really win, and what insights did we come away with?
