'Scarface' is one of my favorite movies and this book was AWESOME! I can't believe how much information and analysis there is packed into these pages. The interpretation of the film is amazing.I am planning on watching 'Scarface' again tonight with this book in hand. Not only is there plenty of (genuine) trivia and info but there's also a discussion of the film's meaning, why certain characters are named the way they are (`Elvira' means white - love it!!), why there are so many creatures mentioned in the movie (never noticed!) and there's so many interesting other points made like the fact that Nick The Pig is never introduced and that there are three stereotypical Jewish characters in the movie - Mel Bernstein, Seidelbaum and Frank Lopez, who is half-Jewish.What's great is none of this information is available on line or on any DVDs. The background on the film's development is fascinating and there's even an entire chapter on the Scarface premiere, with quotes from celebrities at the time, like Lucille Ball (!) and Melanie Griffith who was married to Steven Bauer back then. This book is a must have for Tony Montana fans. Trust me 'Scarface The Ultimate Guid'' is worth your money. "The eyes, Chico, they never lie."
