TV The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Documentaries - Season 3 Episode 23 : Ben Hecht - Shakespeare of Hollywood The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Documentaries - Season 3 Episode 23 : Ben Hecht - Shakespeare of Hollywood /10 by 0 users Chicago in the roaring twenties was a hotbed of activity -- mostly criminal. Mobsters controlled gambling and the flow of alcohol, and they brutally exacted their revenge on their rivals. It was a bloody way of life for gangsters, but newspapermen had a field day. Ben Hecht was a reporter who could find and tell great stories, bringing the harsh realities of Chicago life on to the front page with a human dimension. Exploring the human condition with words would always be important to Hecht, even when he traded the back alleys of Chicago for Hollywood's back-lots, becoming tinsel-town's most respected screenwriter.
