Matt Tyrnauer, the director of “Studio 54,” now presents the documentary, “Where’s My Roy Cohn?” about the New York lawyer who was known to reach for all the power he can while rising in his career. It did not matter to him if it was legal or not. He was an only child with a doting Jewish mother and very intelligent – learning so much as a child from the adults when sitting around the dinner table or living room when his parents had company. By 1954, he was a young colleague of Joseph McCarthy who sat with him during the Army-McCarthy hearings. Tyrnauer uses archival TV clips, newsreel footage and audio interviews for his feature documentary, one that reveals so much about his manipulation through the years and how he was a mentor to Donald Trump, as well as helping him through the 1975 housing discrimination charges.
