The Glass Wall

“THE 10-HOUR MANHUNT...that tore New York apart!”

A Hungarian refugee jumps ship in New York harbor, and one man alone can prove he has any right to be in the country: an ex-G.I. named Tom, whom he helped during the war. Peter Kuban (Vittorio Gassman) has twenty-four hours to find him, or he is branded a fugitive and barred from citizenship for good. Maxwell Shane shot this black-and-white Columbia picture as one night's chase, the camera staying close to Kuban's face.
