Hard to stomach
11 June 2020
The problem with this documentary is the subject matter. Hard to watch such a such an unsavory character for 90 minutes, and knowing he passed on his very worst character traits to the current occupant of the White House. Of course without Trump, this documentary would not even had been made. Outside of New York, Cohn was not even that well known, except for his sleazy legal counsel representation on Joe McCarthy's infamous committee. New York City doesn't come off very well either back in 1960's/70's with a corrupt political class, corrupt police, a town under the control of the mafia, and a shallow cafe society. Frankly the best part of this documentary was when Cohn finally got disbarred, and he died of aids. Now we are left with the after affects of his life, which is a corrupt Republican Party supported by a team of corrupt lawyers.
