The 1932 Scarface was considered extremely dangerous when it was released for its graphic portrayal of violence that it portrayed, as well as the way that it glorified crime and gang violence.
Although this film wasn’t included in any country-wide ban, there were several states in the US that refused to play it in theaters.
The producers cut out enough of the violent scenes for it to be approved for theatrical release, but this wasn’t enough for approval in Grcities like Detroit, Chicago, Seattle, and Portland.
