Scarface (also known as Scarface: the Shame of the Nation and The Shame of a Nation) is a 1932 gangster film of the Pre-Code era which tells the story of gang warfare and police intervention when rival gangs fight over control of a city. It was directed by Howard Hawks and produced by Howard Hughes. It is a transposition of the incestuous love of Lucrezia Borgia and Cesare Borgia to the underworld of Chicago.
