The last mogul
Lew Wasserman started in the entertainment industry working the door at Cleveland speak-easies and rose to control a Hollywood empire. With Chicagoan Jules Stein, Wasserman became an agent, and made Music Corp. of America one of the first true media conglomerates. Wasserman's gift for perceiving industry trends long before his rivals led to MCA's creation of Universal Pictures and Universal City. Wasserman was notoriously secretive, doing no interviews and leaving behind no written materials, so the film combines research, archival images, and new interviews of Hollywood insiders to tell a great American story of power, commerce, and deal making.

- "For over a half century, only one man in Hollywood had absolute power to run the town, own the unions and even control Washington. There will never be another like Lew Wasserman. A visionary who turned America's entertainment business into an empire, Wasserman's skill at manipulating both politicians and mafia bosses was legendary. He worked with everyone from Alfred Hitchcock to Steven Spielberg; from James Stewart to Kevin Costner, and his deal making was as notorious as his temper. Ripe with candid stories of corruption, mafia scandals, political maneuvering and power brokering on an illustrious scale, this is Wasserman's rags-to-riches story from the mob controlled speakeasies of 1920's Cleveland to the top of Hollywood's A-List, right through to his notorious final days."@en
