Street Corner: Gaffney


See, I told you I'm not done with this project. I chose the name Gaffney because this figure reminds me of the character, Gaffney, from the 1932 version of "Scarface." Gaffney, played by Boris Karloff, is Tony's nemesis, and ups the ante in the gang war by bringing Tommy guns into the mix (Tony's minions were only armed with pistols early in the film.) "Scarface" (1983) follows almost the exact same storyline as the 1932 version; in the 1932 version, there's even an electric sign proclaiming, "The World is Yours," across the street from Tony's headquarters. It's worth a sitting if you're a fan of gangster flicks.
