Oscar winning actor Maximillian (Judgment at Nuremberg) Schell directed The Pedestrian, a court drama about the trial of an elderly war criminal.
The film, which was a co-production of companies in Germany, Switzerland and Israel, was distributed in the U.S. by Cinerama Releasing Corporation.
The film was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, but it did not win; the winner was Truffaut’s French comedy, Day for Night.
