Scarface (1983)
This original 1983 Australian daybill captures the rise of Tony Montana with bold, stylised artwork that differs from the more widely seen US campaign designs offering collectors something both visually distinctive and far less commonly encountered.
Brian De Palma’s Scarface, written by Oliver Stone and starring Al Pacino in one of his most iconic roles, charts the violent ascent of a Cuban immigrant in Miami’s cocaine underworld. Initially divisive upon release for its excess and brutality, the film has since become a cultural phenomenon. Its themes of ambition, greed, and the dark side of the American Dream resonating across generations.
The imagery here perfectly reflects that narrative: power, glamour, and inevitable downfall — all condensed into a single, dramatic composition. Australian daybills were produced in smaller quantities compared to US one sheets, and far fewer have survived in strong condition, making them increasingly desirable among serious collectors.
