Scarface

On the data. Two films, and both had trouble on release. The 1932 film was held by censors for around two years. It was eventually released with the subtitle The Shame of a Nation and an inserted scene of civic figures denouncing gangsters, added to make it acceptable. Howard Hawks disowned the changes. The 1983 remake was reviewed harshly. It was given an X rating in America for violence and language, and the producers appealed and won an R after arguing the case; the version released is reportedly the one originally submitted. Its critical reputation recovered slowly and its cultural standing, particularly in hip-hop, arrived later still and is now far larger than the reviews. Oliver Stone wrote the 1983 script while dealing with his own cocaine addiction, and has said he moved to Paris to finish it in order to stop. A third version has been in development since about 2011, with directors including Antoine Fuqua, Pablo Larrain and Luca Guadagnino attached at various points. Nothing has been made.
