The Glass House - Digitally Remastered Movie | Thriller Film with Suspense & Drama | Perfect for Movie Nights & Halloween Screenings

The Glass House – Digitally Remastered A professor, convicted of manslaughter, and a novice guard start their first day in prison in this adaptation of Truman Capote’s “In Cold Blood.” Academy Award-nominee Alan Alda stars as Jonathon Paige, a teacher convicted of accidental manslaughter and sentenced to prison. Meanwhile, a new guard (Vic Morrow) begins his work at the same penitentiary and they experience the violent, unpredictable dynamics of life behind bars together. This made-for-television film was nominated for a Golden Globe, as well as several Primetime Emmy Awards, winning one for director Tom Gries. In his autobiography, Alda claims that the film was shot in a real prison using real prisoners as extra and that at several points the men became violent, perhaps adding another level of realism to this drama.
