Episode 45: Scarface with Peter Saphier

Now recognised as one of the great crime films of all time, Scarface had a struggle getting to the big screen initially. And even upon release it never found an audience and disappeared without a trace pretty quickly. However, over time it has grown into the now legendary film about the immigrant Tony Montana coming to America to seek his fortune.

Scarface producer Peter Saphier discusses what it was like trying to get the film made as an independent producer working at a major movie studio, how he had private reservations about the finished film and why Pacino was so fantastic in the lead role.

All About Al: The Pacino Podcast is written, produced and presented by Mark Searby.
