Description
Considered to be one of the best gangster films ever made, ‘Scarface’ follows the rise and fall of Cuban refugee Tony Montana (Al Pacino) as he becomes the biggest drug lord in 1980s Miami. Directed by Brian De Palma and written by Oliver Stone, the cast also featured Michelle Pfeiffer in her breakthrough role as coke-addict mob wife Elvira Hancock. The film’s excessive violence, profanity and scenes of graphic drug usage were met with a negative critical response on initial release, but subsequent reappraisal has established ‘Scarface’ as a cult classic. A loose remake of the 1932 film of the same name, De Palma dedicated his version to Howards Hawks and Ben Hecht, the director and screenwriter of the original film. Featuring the primary cast and blood red titles against a Miami mint background, this scarce one sheet issued for the first Australian release in 1984 features some of the best artwork for the film, somewhat outshining the rather stark black and white design seen throughout the US poster campaign.
