John Sweeney

Interviews with Tinseltown's biggest names recount the story behind the MCA president who controlled Hollywood for more than half a century.

For over sixty years as power broker at MCA and head of Universal Studios, Lew Wasserman rewrote the behind the scenes Hollywood rulebook. In this "highly entertaining" (NY Post) documentary, director Barry Avrich succeeds in doing the impossible - piercing the shroud of silence surrounding a man who kept no notes, gave no interviews, and remains as feared in death as he was in life.
