He also gave Fritz Lang, not an easy person either, this splendid opportunity to film an update of a classic novel that transforms... When I first read that, I thought, "Good Lord, Panzer is deifying Cohn." Then I realized there was a period between "that" & "He." Cohn had taste & produced, in my opinion, movies with much more class than anything ever imagined by Louis B. Mayer. A strange guy, though. Definitely a megalomaniac, who reigned suzerain at Sunset & Gower. He definitely wasn't a benevolent despot. On the other hand, his sexism notwithstanding, Roz Russell maintained that she could wrap him around her finger. I like how, despite his overwhelming desire to have Columbia accepted as a "major" studio, he continued making comedy shorts for 20 years after Hal Roach threw in the towel. He also was the last studio head to give up on serials. Fascinating guy!!
