I never knew Scarface was originally a book set in Chicago in the 30s- it's in the public domain now, and we recently transcribed it as a free ebook on Wikisource: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Scarface
First of all, I adore this, and thank you so much for sharing your recollections! One slight question: when Tony is killed, he swan dives off the interior balcony, but there is no window. Or are you referring to the slightly earlier scene with the French windows behind Tony’s office desk, where the first unlucky hitman pops out too early after Tony’s sister goes postal, and shoots the wrong Montana? Sorry to go all Comic Book Guy about this but I want to have this perfectly in my head. One of my favourite movies! :)

Thank you. I appreciated this analysis.

Amazing, thank you! :D What a gift it must have been to be there! Hollywood in the eighties must have been something else.
That's crazy!
Amazing story! Thanks for sharing
