Lot 1790: 1938 Scarface Three-Sheet Movie Poster (41x79")
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Enormous colorized image of the stars and co-stars of this most
Monumental gangster movie, Scarface. Largest image is of Paul Muni, who played Tony "Scarface" Camonte, modeled after Al Capone's mobster activities during the Roaring Twenties. This was one of the most shocking
and impact gangster movies of all-time, as it has set the standard for
violence on the silver screen and it has set the tone for the image of the
Hollywood mobster. Very early re-release (1938) is an affordable rarity.
EX-MT, mounted on linen and beautifully framed.
