- Scarface
-
-
- (April 18, 1932)
-
- Scarface is a grisly, exciting gangster picture, based in part
- upon the career of Alphyonse ("Scarface," "Snorkey") Capone. Its
- vicious hero, one Tony (Paul Muni), ingeniously wins the
- affection of public enemy named Lovo (Osgood Perkins) by
- murdering his own superior. He then embarks upon a career of
- informal executions, becoming invaluable to Lovo and attractive
- to Lovo's Poppy (Karen Morley). Presently dissension occurs
- between Tony and Lovo. Tony wipes out Lovo and leaves Florida
- with Poppy.
-
- When he comes back, he has trouble with his sister (Ann
- Dvorak). Tony suspects someone of ruining her, immediately
- shoots him. The police trace Tony to his lair. Instead of
- shooting him, they shoot his sister. Tony survives just long
- enough to prove himself a coward. His riddled corpse is last
- seen in a gutter.
