Scarface (1932)

[Scarface32]

As my name suggests, I prefer the original 1932 version over the 1983 remake. There have been multiple Blu-ray release of the remake, but the original is still only on DVD. It would be nice if the studio put the original Scarface on Blu-ray. Does anyone agree?

first day purchase for me if it happens. The 1983 remake does nothing for me.

Well at least ONE other people likes this movie. Thanks for replying

I really like the 1932 orignal, I would buy it if it came out.

How is this possible this is not out yet?

Not like modern reappraisals have panned this movie or something: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1018323_scarface

Plus I saw this on HDTV a few years and the print looked decent.

God knows! It's really strange that this hasn't had a BD release yet.

Although I do enjoy the De Palma remake I share the enthusiasm displayed here for the '32 original. Universal's DVD was bare-bones and I wouldn't expect supplements if they released it on blu; Would love to see them license it out to Criterion.

A gangster classic such as this deserves no less than a stellar special edition.

Like I said there's already an HD master out there which didn't look too bad from what I could remember. All they have to do is print it on a disk and throw out a bare bones release which would be better than nothing. But you're right in that does deserve classic treatment

It’s nuts that this all-time classic gangster flick hasn’t gotten a blu ray release. Same for The Roaring Twenties & G-Men

This is LONG overdue. Where's Criterion when you need them?
