Abby Mann (December 1, 1927 – March 25, 2008) was an American film writer and producer.
Born to a Jewish family as Abraham Goodman in Philadelphia, he grew up in East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants. He was best known for his work on controversial subjects and social drama. His best known work is the screenplay for Judgment at Nuremberg (1961), which was initially a television drama which aired in 1959. Stanley Kramer directed the film adaptation, for which Mann received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. In his acceptance speech, he said:
Mann later adapted the play for a 2001 production on Broadway, which featured Maximilian Schell from the 1961 film in a different role. 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. Mann and Kramer also collaborated on the film A Child is Waiting (1963).
Working for television, he created the television series Kojak, starring Telly Savalas. Mann was executive producer, but was credited as a writer also on many episodes. His other writing credits include the screenplays for the television films The Marcus-Nelson Murders, The Atlanta Child Murders,Teamster Boss: The Jackie Presser Story, and Indictment: The McMartin Trial, as well as the film War and Love. He also directed the 1978 NBC TV miniseries King.

Judgment at Nuremberg is a 1961 American drama film directed by Stanley Kramer, written by Abby Mann and starring Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Richard Widmark, Maximilian Schell, Werner Klemperer, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, William Shatner and Montgomery Clift. Set in Nuremberg in 1948, the film centers on a military tribunal led by Chief Trial Judge Dan Haywood (Tracy), before which four German judges and prosecutors stand accused of crimes against humanity for their involvement in atrocities committed under the Nazi regime. The film deals with non-combatant war crimes against a civilian population (i.e., crimes committed in violation of the Law of Nations or the Laws of War), the Holocaust, and with post-World War II geopolitical complexity of the Nuremberg Trials. This was because crucially, in both the film, and in historical fact; the atrocities committed were in fact not performed only by Hitler; his political cronies, henchmen, and para-military Storm Troopers. They were done (at Hitler’s direction, of course) by well-respected institutional leaders of German society; and by leaders in the other societies in German occupied Europe, where those leaders, readily agreed, acquiesced and enthusiastically cooperated with, in this aspect of the Hitler regime in Germany, and in German occupied territory, during the war. An earlier version of the story was broadcast as a television episode of Playhouse 90. Schell and Klemperer played the same roles in both productions.

Píše se rok 1948. V německém městě Norimberk pokračují procesy s nacistickými válečnými zločinci. Ti nejvyšší již své rozsudky vyslyšeli, teď jsou však na řadě lidé, kteří "jen" sloužili režimu. Jednomu z poválečných tribunálů předsedá penzionovaný americký soudce Haywood (Spencer Tracy). O svém poslání si nedělá žádné iluze: ví, že největší případy už proběhly a lidé v Německu i Americe se raději ohlížejí dopředu než dozadu. Přesto se Haywood svého úkolu chopí s cílem dobrat se objektivního poznání o tom, jakou vinu na zvrácenostech nacistické říše nesou běžní občané. Před tribunálem se navíc ocitli Haywoodovi kolegové, všichni čtyři obžalovaní totiž sami vykonávali soudcovskou praxi. Z moci svého úřadu odsuzovali lidi k smrti na základě jejich politického přesvědčení nebo rasové příslušn...

TV episode from Playhouse 90. Original air date 16th April 1959. Meine Suche dauerte volle 22 -ZWEIUNDZWANZIG- JAHRE! Wenige wissen: „URTEIL VON NÜRNBERG“ von Stanley Kramer 1961 mit Starbesetzung inszeniert - war ein REMAKE!

Die Rolle wiederholte er, deutlich weiterentwickelt, 1961 auf der Großleinwand und gewann dafür als erster und einziger deutschsprachiger Schauspieler der Tonfilm – Ära den Oscar als Bester Hauptdarsteller.

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

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'm a Ape 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
be my APE MAN girl
And we'll be so happy in my APE MAN world.
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'm a APE MAN.
I'll be your Tarzan &
you'll be my Jane
I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane.
We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas
