Scarface

Generally regarded to be the best - and most brutal - of the classic gangster films. Scarface tells the story of organzied crime's pinch on the city of Chicago during prohibition. Paul Muni plays Tony Carmonte, an ambitious hood with a Napoleonie urge to fight his way up to number one gang boss. Produced by Howard Hughes and directed by Howard Hawks. Scarface is the movie which established both Paul Muni and his coin-flipping aide George Raft as major Hollywood stars. © Caddo Co. Inc.
