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.
