Amazon.com essential video:
Hoo-ah! After seven Oscar nominations for his outstanding work in films such as The Godfather, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon, it's ironic that Al Pacino finally won the Oscar 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 relief, 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 Oscar nominations for director Martin Brest and for screenwriter Bo Goldman. --Jeff Shannon

I loved the movie. It is very inspiring, regardless of the critiques about it noy being "realistic". Since when are movies realistic?
Anyway, the part I miss in the disc version and feel a bit dissapointed is the one at the near end of the movie where Pacino tells the Puerto Rican cleaning lady at the hotel that Puerto Rican soldiers are the best in the world. I just wonder if anyone else has noticed this cut and why would that happen.

I got this movie because I wanted to see the role in which Gabrielle Anwar is apparently famous for. Im probably the only one who would do that but I did, and maybe thats why it was a major let down. She was a pretty insignificant character to the movie and her scene lasted at most five minutes. The movie itself was for lack of a better description very 'movie like'. Al Pacino is a bitter old blind soldier who is trying to fulfill his last wishes and live it up in the big city before his planned ... Read More

This is a truly remarkable movie. Al Pacino and Chris O'Donnell are the perfect duo. It will make you laugh, cry, and even have you rooting for the guy that no one really likes anymore. Great purchase!
