Bonus Content: * Production Notes * Cast and Filmmakers ]]> .com Review ----------- Hoo-ah! After seven O nominations for his outstanding work in films such as The Godher, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon, it's ironic that Al Pacino finally won the O for his grandstanding lead performance in this 1992 crowd pleaser. As the blind, blunt, and ultimately benevolent retired Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade, Pacino is both hammy and compelling, simultaneously subtle and grandly over-the-top when defending his new assistant and prep school student Charlie (Chris O'Donnell) at a disciplinary hearing. While the subplot involving Charlie's prep-school crisis plays like a sequel to Dead Poets Society, Pacino's adventurous escapades in New York City provide comic , rich character development, and a memorable supporting role for Gabrielle Anwar as the young woman who accepts the colonel's invitation to dance the tango. Scent of a Woman is a remake of the 1972 Italian film Profumo di donna. In addition to Pacino's award, the picture garnered O nominations for director Martin Brest and for screenwriter Bo Goldman. --Jeff Shannon P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Author ---------------- Lawrence Grobel has written for Rolling Stone, New York Times and many others.
