Scarface (Imprint Collection #37)
An ambitous criminal with a ruthless drive to be the city's top crime boss leads the groundbeaking gangta story of organised crime's brutal control over Chicago during the prohibition era.
Critic Reviews:
- " Among other things, Ben Hecht was a Chicago newspaperman, a playwright, author of maybe the funniest American novel…Hecht defines the writer-producer relationship… " – A.S. Hamrah
- " What it has, and what the many other gangster films that have followed it have not, is an ice-cold anger of purpose. " – Times (UK) Staff
- " [Scarface is] a brilliant film thanks mainly to the acting of Paul Muni and Ben Hecht's script." – Alan Page
