One is a Classic Film Noir directed by Howard Hawks and starring Paul Muni as an Italian American gangster intent on taking over the neighbourhood! One is a colourful, violent swearfest directed by Brian De Palma and starring Al Pacino as a Cuban immigrant ganster intent of taking over Miami by foul means or fair. But is the Brian De Palma film a remake of the Howard Hawks film.

I think "remake" is overstating it. Both films describe the rise and fall of ambitious young toughs; in that regard, they share a common heritage.

The 1983 version is more of a reworking. The '32 version has the theme of the obsession with the sister, but for reasons which escape me, no snorting sacksfulls of coke off a desk.
