About this listen

Harry Cohn was the cofounder and president of Columbia Pictures, which he ran from the 1930s through 1950s, producing such classics as It Happened One Night, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and All the King's Men.

Cohn—who abhorred personal publicity—left no writings, made no speeches, and rarely submitted to interviews. Despite this, acclaimed biographer Bob Thomas brilliantly illuminates the life of the powerful but elusive studio head in King Cohn: The Life and Times of Hollywood Mogul Harry Cohn. Thomas details the studio head's rise from a New York City song-plugger to a Poverty Row impresario, highlighting his reign as one of the most powerful men in Hollywood during the golden era of the studio system.
