452 Scarface (1983) Part 2

Author: Steve Morris & John Rocha October 17, 2025 Duration: 2:21:02

On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha continue their trip back to 1983 for Part 2 of their exploration of Brian De Palma's SCARFACE starring Al Pacino. A remake of the 1932 film from director Howard Hawks which starred Paul Muni and was based on the 1930 novel. This version tells the story of Cuban refugee Tony Montana (Pacino), who arrives in Miami during the Mariel boatlift and goes from low level lieutenant with his best friend Manny (Bauer) by his side to powerful drug lord. And after a power struggle with an even more ruthless drug lord, he meets a bloody end in iconic fashion. The film co-stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Steven Bauer, Robert Loggia, F. Murray Abraham, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Steve and John go thru the movie scene by scene and break down the direction, acting, storylines, cinematography, score, action sequences and more.

Hosted by Steve Morris and John Rocha, The Cine-Files is a weekly deep dive into the movies that matter. This isn't just a review show; it's a guided tour through the layers of a single film, examining the craft, context, and conversation surrounding it. Each episode selects one picture-whether a classic, a contemporary standout, or an overlooked gem-and unpacks its artistic themes, the historical moment it came from, and the vision of the filmmakers behind it. The discussion naturally extends to how these works echo through cinema today, drawing connections that illuminate both the past and present of the medium. For anyone who watches a movie and immediately wants to discuss the director's choices, the cultural impact, or the hidden details in the script, this podcast provides that thoughtful, engaging dialogue. Listen in for analysis that treats film with the seriousness and enthusiasm it deserves, transforming the way you see the stories on screen. The Cine-Files is built for the curious viewer who believes every great film has more to say long after the credits roll.
