Abby Mann (December 1, 1927 – March 25, 2008) was an American film writer and producer.
Born as Abraham Goodman in Philadelphia, he grew up in East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was best known for his work on controversial subjects and social drama. His most famous work is the drama Judgment at Nuremberg, which was initially a television drama aired in 1959. Stanley Kramer directed the 1961 film adaptation, for which Mann received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. In his acceptance speech, he said:
"A writer worth his salt at all has an obligation not only to entertain but to comment on the world in which he lives."
Mann later adapted the play for a 2001 production on Broadway, which featured Maximilian Schell from the 1961 film in a different role.
Mann and Kramer also collaborated on the 1963 film A Child is Waiting.
In the introduction to the printed script, Mann credited a conversation with Abraham Pomerantz, U.S. Chief Deputy Counsel, for giving him the initial interest in Nuremberg.
Martin Luther (help·info) (10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546) was a German monk, priest, professor of theology and iconic figure of the Protestant Reformation. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with money. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Emperor.
Luther taught that salvation is not earned by good deeds but received only as a free gift of God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ as redeemer from sin. His theology challenged the authority of the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church by teaching that the Bible is the only source of divinely revealed knowledge and opposed sacerdotalism by considering all baptized Christians to be a holy priesthood. Those who identify with Luther's teachings are called Lutherans.
I think I'm sophisticated
'cos I'm living my life like a good homo sapiens.
But all around me ev'rybody's multiplying
And they're walking round like flies man:
So I'm no better than the animals
Sitting in the cages in the zoo man,
'cos compared to the flowers and the birds
And the trees,
I am an APEMAN.
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized
'cos I'm a strict vegetarian. And with the over population
And inflation and starvation and the crazy politi-shians.
I don't feel safe in this world
no more. I don't wanna die in a nuclear war.
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an APEMAN.
I'm an APEMAN
I'm an APE
APE MAN
I'm an APE MAN.
I'm a king-kong man
I'm a voodoo man
I'm a APE MAN.
'cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky,
Compared to the clouds as they roll by,
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies,
I am an APE MAN. La
la...
In man's evolution he created
the cities and the motor traffic rumble.
But give me half a chance and I be taking off me
Clothes and living in the jungle.
But the only time that I feel at ease is
Swinging up and down in a coconut tree.
what a life of luxury to be like an APE MAN.
I'm an APE MAN
I'm an APE
APE MAN
I'm an APE MAN.
I'm a king-kong man
I'm a voodoo man

I look out the window
but I can't see the sky
the air pollution is a fogging up my eyes,
I want to get out of this city alive
And make like an APE MAN.
Come and love me

And we'll be so happy in my APE MAN world.
I'm an APE MAN

But all around me, everybody's multiplying
And they're walking round like flies man
So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages
In the zoo man
Because compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an Apeman
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized
'Cause I'm a strict vegetarian
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
And the crazy politicians

Well, I'm a King Kong man, I'm a Voo-Doo man
No, I'm an Apeman
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
All I need is an ape man to hold in my arms,
Thriller gorilla to keep me safe from harm,
I wanna date a chimpanzee and feel that King Kong vibe,
Simian Don Juan monkey business is really gonna blow my mind.
Woah, he's gotta be an ape man.
All I need is a banana and a king-size net,
If I'm gonna catch that ape man for my pet,
I wouldn't date a wolfman or the creature from the black lagoon,
But you can't go wrong with the son of Kong or a Frankenstein baboon.
I just got a phonecall from the agency,
They said they got that monkey there for me.
And if you listen closely... you can hear him stomping into town!
I'm goin' out with all my money to buy me a wedding gown.
I think I'm sophisticated

But all around me everybody's multiplying
