An Italian commercial poster for the Brian De Palma gangster classic Scarface (1983). Known for its unflinching and decadent depiction of the life of a Miami drug lord, Scarface has become a cult classic revered for its memorable dialogue, savvy visual style, and over-the-top violence. The poster shows a colour image of Al Pacino as Cuban gangster Tony Montana during the famous climatic sequence when he unleashed fury in his mansion upon the army of Sosa's men using an M16 machine, uttering the iconic line "Say Hello To My Little Friend". The lot comes conservation linen-backed and displays some signs of restoration.
