Film7.4SuçAksiyonBrian De Palma 1980’li yıllarda üç saatlik bir şölene dönüştürdüğü Tony Montanalı SCARFACE hikâyesini yakın tarihe kadar bir gizem olan 1931 yapımı SCARFACE filminden aktarmıştır. Hayatı sinema filmine konu olan Howard Hughes, senaryo yazarı Ben Hecht ve Amerikan sinemasının efsane yönetmenlerinden Howard Hawks’ın 1931 yılında gerçekleştirdikleri bu eser “Klasik” ve “Yön verme” vasıflarını hak eden bir çalışmadır. Eserin ana fikri Tony Guarino isimli karaktere dayandırılan Armitage Trail’in aynı isimli romanına dayanmaktadır.Ufak işlerde pişen Sicilya kökenli serseri Tony Camonte, dağlı teknikleri ve megaloman seviyede ki kazanma hırsıyla Chicago Yeraltı Dünyasının en büyüğü olmaya yemin etmiştir. Bu yolda da kendi patronundan şehri yönetenler kulübünün üyelerine herkes birer araçtır. Sırası gelenler bu hırstan kendine düşen payı alacak ve hastanede ki suikast sahnesinde olduğu gibi bir buket çiçek ve kurşunla şehirden ve hayattan uğurlanacaktır.

Film6.6SuçDramA foreword warns against the peril of yellow journalism, and the story illustrates it by following events in the upstate New York town of Cornwall after prominant financier George Ferguson is killed. Two types of New York City journalists descend on Cornwall, one interested in facts, the other in getting sensational "news". Mrs. Ferguson is known to have been friendly with a local banker. The Fergusons quarrel the evening he is killed (by "burglars", his wife tells the police later), and she is arrested, spurred on by the "bad" journalists, who also manage to badger the banker's wife into the hospital. Meanwhile, young Bruce Foster runs the Cornwall Courier, and shows the big city reporters how to dig out real news while they attempt to subvert justice for their own ends.
