Save My Sisters by L J Later
When Brian DePalma's operatically violent and profane>Scarface debuted in 1983, the film drew almost as much fire as the relentless gunfire in the film itself. The movie was a remake of 1932's>Scarface--revamped for a new era of drugs, sex, and graphic violence. Attacked as both a celebration of cocaine-fueled excess and a condemnation of it, the film's reputation only grew as the years went by. But the real story of its success started nearly a century ago--when Hollywood first fell in love with the American gangster . . . Hollywood's infatuation with money, power, and organized crime has captured the public's imagination and made>Scarface one of its most enduring modern myths. From a 1912 gangster film by D. W. Griffith to the 1932 hit>Scarface starring Paul Muni, to Brian DePalma's 1983 shocker, the antihero's rise and fall exposes the dark side of the American Dream--whether it's Prohibition Era bootleggers or modern-day drug dealers. When actor Al Pacino got the idea of doing a remake of>Scarface after screening the original, a legend was (re)born--and the rest is history. With guns blazing and chainsaws whirring, movie biz writer Nat Segaloff tears into this pop culture phenomenon with fascinating insights, stunning revelations, and a true fan's glee. This is a must-listen book for movie buffs, crime lovers, and culture vultures everywhere.| SKU | Unavailable |
