Scarface (1983)
An original 1983 Universal City Studios Black and White Publicity Still #2154-10, unframed.
Tony Montana (Al Pacino) at the summit of his empire: cigar in one hand, arm flung wide, holding court from a marble bubble bath with champagne on ice and a gilded cherub at his shoulder. Nothing sums up the excess of Scarface better.
Oliver Stone wrote the script in Paris while, by his own account, trying to kick his own cocaine habit. Brian De Palma then had to send the film back to the ratings board three times. It was rated X for violence each time, and won its R only on appeal. Critics were sniffy, but a generation of rappers, designers and directors adopted it as the last word in rise-and-fall glamour. This print went out with the original 1983 press campaign.
