| Summary |
"Brian De Palma's brash, bloody version of Scarface was trashed by critics when it came out twenty-five years ago and didn't do well at the box office, but it has become a spectacular fan favorite and enduring pop-culture classic since." "Scarface Nation is Ken Tucker's homage to all things Scarface - from the stars who acted in it to the influence it's had on all of us, from facts, figures, and stories about the making of the movie to a witty and comprehensive look at Scarface's traces in today's pop and political culture."--BOOK JACKET |
