Legend paints Harry Cohn as an ogre, perhaps the most hated man in Hollywood. Author Bernard Dick's book provides a more level assessment, of a man who was tough, sometimes feared, and yet always respected. He ran Columbia with an iron fist, and his method created and maintained a successful movie studio, transforming it from its poverty-row beginnings, to one of Hollywood's finest. If you are looking for a pure biography, be prepared to read more about the business of Columbia, and Cohn the businessman.
The Three Stooges, and short subjects, barely receive a mention, limited to a few paragraphs. However, that is more than several other Columbia Studios histories have provided over the years.
The publisher released a softcover edition in 2009, with the same content and cover.
