Scent of a Woman

DVD review from Nick at Nite

Scent of a Woman

Al Pacino won an Oscar for his portrayal of an angry, injured warrior who is in serious need of a self-help book or twelve-step program. He joins up with Chris O’Donnell, a scholarship student from the local prep school, for a thanksgiving trip to New York City. There Lt. Col. Slade and Charlie drive a fast car, ride in a limo, dance with Gabrielle Anwar, and consider suicide. All in all a very nice time. This is actually a very good film. Has one of my favorite lines of all time. Lt. Col. Slade asks Charlie to hand him a glass of John Daniels. Charlie says don’t you mean Jack Daniels. Lt. Col. Slade says when you know him as well as I do, it is John Daniels. I give it an “A.”
