built 655 days ago
Lee J. Cobb was born in New York on 8th December, 1911. He studied at New York University before joining the Group Theatre in 1935 where he appeared with Elia Kazan in Waiting for Lefty, the highly successful play by Clifford Odets. He made his screen debut in Ali Baba Goes to Town (1937).

This compelling drama centers around superb performances by Joanne Woodward and Lee J. Cobb. The unusual nature of the story is introduced and explained by (a very young!) Alistair Cooke, and that setting prepares viewers for what is to come. Because this presentation is art, not news reporting, the film may not always be exactly true to the "real story." Fine art takes purposeful liberties with reality, and this film is certainly a fine example of cinema art. Engrossing, entertaining, and enlightening! Highly recommended.

Geboren als Sohn eines jüdischen Komponisten zeigte Cobb bereits in jungen Jahren ein Talent als Violinist, jedoch vereitelte eine schwere Handverletzung eine Karriere als Musiker. Im Alter von 17 Jahren verließ er sein elterliches Zuhause und ging nach Hollywood, wo er jedoch zunächst scheiterte. Nach seiner Rückkehr in New York studierte Cobb am New York College; nebenbei arbeitete er als Sprecher in Rundfunk-Hörspielen.
