I finally saw it the other day...and I quite liked it. Easily one of the better, if not the best, of the gangster movies of the 1930's. The same film that was out of circulation print due to producer Howard Hughes from 1933 to 1978 because of the fuss over the violence and immoral behavior in the original(sound familiar?) I dig both films equally, but forced to choose, I pick TONY MONTANA's movie for sure. But really, if you can see the film, do so! I mean know many people that would refuse to see such a film because its in B&W or that its over 72 years old, but give it a chance. Even if you don't care for it, you would see how and why people like Al Pacino and Bergman dug it.

Montana is a legend lets keep it that way. "Choose your friends carefully. Your enemies will choose you".

Montana is a legend lets keep it that way. i totally dis-agree. thats a classic movie, its like saying never watch the Oceans 11(rat pack). Scarface (pacino) is the modern version and the 1932 is the original. comparing the two won,t make the 1932 version a lousy movie. GoodFella Life Goes On "What're You Gonna Do Now, Tough Guy?"

Doc And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.
