Abby Mann was an American film writer and producer. His best known work is the screenplay for Judgment at Nuremberg, which was initially a television drama. Stanley Kramer directed the film adaptation, and Mann received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. Other credits include the screenplays for The Marcus-Nelson Murders, The Atlanta Child Murders, Teamster Boss: The Jackie Presser Story, Indictment: The McMartin Trial, and War and Love.
Mann later adapted the play for Broadway (Longacre Theatre). 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.
