US film production and distribution company
founded 1924. It grew out of a smaller
company founded 1920 by Harry and Jack Cohn
and Joe Brandt. Under Harry Cohn's guidance,
Columbia became a major studio by the 1940s,
producing such commercial hits as Gilda 1946.
After Cohn's death in 1958 the studio
remained successful, producing international
films such as Lawrence of Arabia 1962. The
company now also produces television films
through its subsidiary Screen Gems.
