Product Description:
Universal Scent Of A Woman - HD-DVDAl Pacino won his first Best Actor Oscar for his brilliant portrayal ofan overbearing, blind retired Lieutenant Colonel who hires a young guardian (Chris O'Donnell), to assist him. It's a heart-wrenching and heartwarmingtale of opposites attracting when they embark on a wild weekend trip that will change the lives of both men forever.
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

The quality of my purchase is excellent and I am very pleased to have bought this through Amazon. The delivery was speedy and efficient as well [truth be told I was very anxious to watch it and it exceeded my expectations]!

This one is a masterpiece. First of all because Al Pacino cuts a character he is in no way close to being in real life. He plays a retired lieutenant-colonel which is nothing, but a blind one. His blindness is the symbol, and result, of both a heroic career and a sad end because he was passed over for general. This mixture of so many emotions and feelings and frustrations is marvelously conveyed by the actor. His tone, his behavior, his general stand, his unpredictable reactions, his decision to ...

The movie has been well reviewed by others. I shall add that the feature that compelled me to add it to my collection is the tango by Pacino and Gabrielle Anwar. That scene is something to watch over and over. It is poetry embodied, with music, in an elegant setting, with an appreciative movie audience that reflects the viewers' awe.
