Scarface (1932)
Howard Hawks's 1932 pre-Code Chicago gangster classic. Paul Muni as the Capone-adjacent Tony Camonte.
George Raft was a dancer and had genuine underworld connections before acting, which the studios used as publicity. Scarface gives him the coin-flipping henchman, and he famously turned down High Sierra, The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca, all of which went to Humphrey Bogart and made him a star.
