SCARFACE
AMC, 8:00 p.m. ET
Sunday’s episode of AMC’s Breaking Bad included a scene in which Bryan Cranston’s Walter White, all but forcing his way back into his old home, watched Al Pacino mow down rivals with his “little friend” in Scarface, to the delight of Walt’s son and the horror of Walt’s wife, who saw in Walt way too much of Scarface – exactly the road map laid out by series creator Vince Gilligan when Breaking Bad began (“Mr. Chips turns into Scarface”). But during that same hour of Breaking Bad, AMC ran promos for this week’s “Mob week” movies, in which Pacino and his “little friend” were featured prominently. Don’t blame Gilligan: he wrote and filmed his Pacino TV scene long before AMC decided to cash in on it. But here’s the 1983 movie remake of the classic gangster film from half a century earlier – the first film in which Michelle Pfeiffer proved she had major talent as well as exceptional beauty.
