Action-wise, this movie was 60 years ahead of its time, at least in terms of the amount of action in it. I think it's safe to say most classic films, including the crime movies, are much slower in pace than... Full review

Scarface was one of the finest gangster movies of the early Century, the newer edition (Scarface w/ Picino) was better, but that was because of the visuals. This was surely one of Paul Muni's best performaces.... Full review

I just saw "Scarface" on TCM and I must say, it's one of the best movies I've ever seen. The visuals weren't anything special, but that's because it was 1932. Come on! Other than that, the story, the acting...everything about it... Full review

The grimness of Scarface is leavened by a few choice moments of black humor.
After its first run, Scarface was completely withdrawn from distribution on Hughes' orders; the film would not be seen again on a widespread basis until it was reissued by Universal in 1979, shorn of 8 of its original 99 minutes.
