This adaptation of Robert Shaw's A DELICATE BALANCE was part of the American Film Theater series, conceived in the 1970s by producer Ely Landau, and meant to be shown theatrically just like a play, with tickets sold in advance. Arthur Goldman stars as an eccentric Jewish tycoon who watches over his financial empire from a Manhattan penthouse. However, when Israeli agents arrest Goldman and put him on trial as Adolph Dorf, a former concentration commandant, his vitriolic diatribes take on a whole new meaning.
