Exploring the intricate relationship between organized crime and Hollywood, this book delves into the mob's influence from the 1920s through the 1980s. It highlights key figures like Harry Cohn and Louis B. Mayer, who accepted mob financing, and examines how this connection evolved with the decline of major studios and the rise of independent filmmakers.
