TCM Celebrates the 100th Anniversary of Columbia Pictures in January

On June 19 1918 brothers Jack and Harry Cohn with their partner Joe Brandt founded Cohn-Brandt-Cohn Film Sales Corporation, better known as CBC. It was on January 10 1924 that the Cohn brothers and Joe Brandt reorganized CBC and renamed it Columbia Pictures Corporation. Next month Turner Classic Movies is celebrating the reorganization of the studio with films from its history each Wednesday. It begins on Wednesday, January 3 2024 at 7:00 PM with one of Columbia's best known movies, It Happened One Night (1934).
