...Scarface falls short of justifying its running time or its ambitions, it is still exhilarating for its vigor and craftsmanship. Visual Consultant Ferdinando Scarfiotti has designed the film in a kitsch-glitz riot of evocative colors: gold (for money), white (cocaine), red (blood) and black (death). As Tony vaults up the ladder of excess, his bad taste escalates as well. He trades in his yellow Caddy with the tiger-skin upholstery for a $43,000 gray Porsche.

He called it the Lambretta, and Italians, too poor to buy autos, rapidly embraced it as their family vehicle. Premier Alcide de Gasperi boasted before he died that his regime had "given the motor scooter to the people." Pope Pius XII once publicly praised the motor scooters for "raising the level of life of the social categories who cannot buy more costly means of transport.'' Archbishop Giovanni Battista Montini...
