Mickey Cohen – The Hollywood Gangster
The true story of Mickey Cohen, legendary Hollywood mobster, and Ben Hecht, Academy-Award winning screenwriter of Scarface, who strike an unlikely friendship when they collaborate to write about Mickey’s life. Cohen’s gritty, violent world of gang wars, gambling rackets, and assassination attempts serves as a brutal backdrop to the unconventional relationship between the ruthless mobster and the brilliant screenwriter.
Based on the newly discovered archive correspondence between Cohen and Hecht, the film exposes the men’s darkest secrets and thoughts about life, death, and the business of killing, during the Golden Age of LA’s seedy underbelly.
