WHY IS IT NEVER SHOWN ON TV..............


I saw it at the movies when it came out more than 30 years ago. This movie and "The Fixer" (Alan Bates) are two movies I would like to re-see. Why are academy award nominated actors performances not shown, ever? Maybe every couple of years or so?! The same $hit over and over again, but some "Classic performances" never?!

I know. A lot of great movies just seem to get lost somewhere along the way. I have spotted The Fixer on TCM a few times very late at night, but I don't recall seeing The Man in the Glass Booth on TV for several years.

Read the trivia.

Despite the film not being lost, it was unavailable to the public for 30 years nearly.
