Scarface Friends
Johnny Lovo rises to the head of the bootlegging crime syndicate on the south side of Chicago following the murder of former head, Big Louis Costillo. Johnny contracted Big Louis' bodyguard, Tony Camonte, to make the hit on his boss. Tony becomes Johnny's second in command, and is not averse to killing anyone who gets in his and Johnny's way. As Tony is thinking bigger than Johnny and is not afraid of anyone or anything, Tony increasingly makes decisions on his own instead of following Johnny's orders, especially in not treading on the north side run by an Irish gang led by a man named O'Hara, of whom Johnny is afraid. Tony's murder spree increases, he taking out anyone who stands in his and Johnny's way of absolute control on the south side, and in Tony's view absolute control of the entire city.
Tony's actions place an unspoken strain between Tony and Johnny to the point of the two knowing that they can't exist in their idealized world with the other. Tony's ultimate downfall may be.
It's not just that SCARFACE is far superior to the remake; it's also the fact that it was one of the most daring and controversial movies of its era (though there were compromises: the scene in the editor's office, where the 'moral' is spelled out, was added after the film was completed, to appease the various censor boards), and it's still a fast, often startlingly funny, and vicious gangster movie. It doesn't ask you to feel sorry for the characters: rather, the movie assumes that you're fascinated because these characters live fast, hard, dangerous lives. Paul Muni was never better than in this movie (certainly, it's one of his toughest, most direct, least mannered pieces of work), and he's matched by a wonderful supporting cast, especially Ann Dvorak's sly, insinuating performance as his sister. Howard Hawks's direction is amazingly kinetic, and Lee Garmes's cinematography is dazzling (as layered and beautiful as his work for von Sternberg). Simply one of the great American classics!

The gun is expected to fetch around $30,000 when it is auctioned off later this month. The Hollywood actor, who played drug lord Tony Montana in the gangster movie, used a real machine gun in the film that dramatises the violent expats from Cuba and Puerto Rico who run the underworld. In the movie, Montana becomes a powerful Florida drug kingpin, dealing in cocaine, murdering rival gangsters and making enemies along the way. At the climax, the actor warned a group of rivals with the famous line 'say hello to my little friend' before gunning them down. At the time the weapon was a live firing fully automatic machine gun with a custom-made M203 grenade launcher prop attached to it.

It was also used by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1987 film Predator. But following the death of actor Brandon Lee, who was accidentally shot by a live round fired from a pistol on a film set in 1993, the US banned automatic weapons in filming. As a result Pacino's weapon was retired with the firing pin removed and sold off to a private collector. The gun is expected to sell for $30,000 when it goes under the hammer at Julien's Auctions on November 20.

Share Darren Julien, from the auction house, said: 'Pacino can be seen firing the weapon throughout the climactic ending of the film where Tony tries to defend his mansion against a full-scale assault by Bolivian drug kingpin Alejandro Sosa's men. 'He introduces the gun to his enemies with the now iconic line 'say hello to my little friend'. 'After firing the launcher through the front door of his study into several of his attackers, Tony continues to fire both the launcher and his attached automatic weapon at Sosa's men as they swarm his house, until he is finally shot in the back and killed by The Skull, Sosa's main hit man.
'The M203 grenade launcher was custom made for use on the film, and the firing pin has been removed to prevent the use of live rounds. 'This gun is an amazing piece of pop culture history and very few items are available from Scarface.' It comes as the 'El Fureidis' estate that was used as the setting for the film was sold this week for $12.26million. Other items that will appear at the auction in Los Angeles include Orson Wells 'Citizen Kane' complete suit, Will Farrell's suit from 'Anchorman' and John Belushi's screen worn sunglasses from 'The Blues Brothers'.
