Columbia Pictures: movies and series

Studio history of Columbia Pictures

Columbia Pictures is an American film studio founded as CBC Film Sales Corporation on June 19, 1918 by Harry Cohn, his brother Jack Cohn, and Joe Brandt. It adopted its current name in 1924 and began to gain prominence in the late 1920s thanks to the hits of director Frank Capra, with whom it became established in screwball comedy. During Hollywood's Golden Age, it featured stars such as Jean Arthur, Cary Grant, and Rita Hayworth. Today it is part of Sony Pictures, a division of Sony Entertainment, within the Japanese conglomerate Sony Corporation, and it is counted among the "Big Five" American studios.
