Daniel J @Canbegoated Jul 3 This film is amazing. It has a perfect balance between action, gang war, and drama that fits together perfectly like a jigsaw puzzle. As the film progresses, we slowly watch Tony's mental state degrade as the events of the film affect him. Just the raw emotion of the acting deserves an Oscar nominee.

The story is highly compelling as is the dialogue. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Oct 23 Success in 1 hour and 33 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It pushes the boundaries for the time Period and pulls no punches whatsoever. the action and fantastic direction makes each scene more tense and overall just an enjoyment to watch. See more Haunted by H @RT66736554 12/23/2024 The original SCARFACE is still one of the best gangster films ever made! Although Muni (playing a thinly disguised Al Capone) is fun to watch, the supporting cast under Howard Hawks' direction makes this film a bonafide classic. Vince Barnett's role as Muni's secretary is hilarious! Karen Morley and Ann Dvorak still exude sex appeal. Osgood Perkins plays a character type so well that his version of a "crime boss" is later copied in other classic gangster films. And what's not to love about George Raft, whose quiet, coin-flipping screen presence catapulted him to the Hollywood A list. Besides SCARFACE having a terrific, hard-boiled script and an urgent "ripped from the headlines" message, there are other elements to watch for: Look for Howard Hawks' use of "X" throughout the film, especially during the mob killing scenes (which are many). Also, pay careful attention to the mob meeting scenes. Many of the extras were actual Capone gang members sent to Hollywood to keep an eye (and report) back to their boss about how Hawks (and Muni) depicted him. And finally...watch how Hawks filmed the machine-gun fire scenes, especially in the cafes. The machine gun fire was real, making it exciting and dangerous for the cast.

All the Capone references add to the verisimilitude of 1920s Chicago and help to make this an unforgettable classic film. See more Read all reviews
