Editing The Man in the Glass Booth (section)

==Development==
While ''The Man in the Glass Booth'' was being developed for the screen, Shaw disapproved of the screenplay and had his name removed from the credits.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://catalog.afi.com/Catalog/MovieDetails/55476|title=AFI{{!}}Catalog|website=catalog.afi.com|language=en|access-date=2018-05-17}}</ref> Shaw viewed the completed film before its release and asked to have his name reinstated. In 2002, director [[Arthur Hiller]] related Shaw's objection to the screenplay and his change of heart,

<blockquote>When we decided that we needed more emotions in the film and leaned it towards that, we tried, obviously, to be honest to Robert Shaw, to keep that intellectual game-playing, but to create more of an emotional environment. And Robert Shaw became very disturbed. He did not like the idea and indeed, if you will watch the film, you will see that his name does not appear in the credits, nor does it even say, "based on the play, ''The Man in the Glass Booth''" because he wouldn't let us do it. He just didn't like the idea until he saw the film. Then he phoned [[Edward Anhalt|Eddie Anhalt]], the screenwriter, and congratulated him because he thought it was—just kept the tone he wanted and did it so well. And he phoned [[Mort Abrahams]] the Executive Producer to see if he could get his name put on the final credits. But it was too late to restore his name, all the prints were all made.<ref>''The Man In The Glass Booth''; Transcription of interview with Arthur Hiller; 2003 DVD release; KINO VIDEO.</ref></blockquote>
