This movie was based on actual events that took place during gangster era before prohibition, during the introduction they mention it was based on the life of famous gangster Scarface "Al Capone" that later went o serve time on ALCATRAZ Federal Prison. If you like classic old school gangster movies, you will enjoy this movie. This makes a excellent addition to my collection.

NOt to be confused with the 1983 version, the 1930's "Scarface" is just as good. Paul Muni is superb as always as the troubled antagonist who lives a life of crime and enjoys every minute of it. He was at his peak with this role and it clearly shows. Howard Hawks considered this his favorite film from a list of greats like "Bringing Up Baby" and "Red River". A true classic. Highly recommend it!!!
Very good acting, sets, dialogue all reflective of this period. Felt like I was watching a documentary. Good story line representing flaws in human behavior regarding trust and judging others. Not just a gangster story, but a human interest story. Would not be believable without the stars and superb support actors. Being so close to the silent error, some of it seemed melodramatic and exaggerated. The more sophisticated subtle acting came at a much later period. Still perhaps the best gangster movie ever made; The gold standard.
