A 1934 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (11x14; LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Scarface, the classic 1932 Howard Hawks gangster organized crime thriller ("The greatest drama of modern times!"; produced by Howard Hughes; "Adapted by Ben Hecht from the novel by Armitiage Trail"; loosely based on the rise and fall of Al Capone, who had a scar on his face and was sometimes called "Scarface", but never to his face) starring Paul Muni (in the title role; as Tony Camonte), Ann Dvorak (as Tony's sister), Karen Morley, Osgood Perkins, C. Henry Gordon, George Raft (as Guino Rinaldo, Tony's best friend), Vince Barnett, and Boris Karloff (the movie was made before Frankenstein, but released after Frankenstein, and United Artists saw Karloff's great success in that movie, and they were able to make most, but not all, of the first release posters bill him as "Boris 'Frankenstein' Karloff"). Finally, note that there was a Brian De Palma remake of this movie in 1983, with Al Pacino in the lead role (and the lead characters are no longer Italians, but are Cuban). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1932 movie paper from this classic gangster movie is extremely rare! There are early re-releases that look very similar to the original lobby cards, but some do not have the "United Artists Picture" under the title, and those are late 1930s re-releases, and then there are other cards which DO have "United Artists Picture" under the title, but do not have "Country of Origin U.S.A." within the red box (it is in the bottom right corner), and those are from a 1934 re-release. There are also first release lobby cards that were overprinted with "Shame of the nation" under the title. This is a 1934 re-release lobby card. Condition: very good. There are many super tiny pinholes around the edges and one near the center of the card, but otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition! Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! Learn More about condition grades
