Scent of a Woman

It's Thanksgiving weekend in New York, and Lt. Colonel Frank Slade (Al Pacino) is in town for a slice of the good life: fine cuisine, beautiful women, chauffered limousines and a suite at the Waldorf-Astoria. And young Charlie Sirnms (Chris O'Donnell) is reluctantly along for the ride, getting the education of a lifetime. Slade is one of life's true originals: a former aide to Lyndon Johnson, now blind, irascible yet with a touch of the poet. Charlie is an earnest young prep student facing a difficult crossroad in his life. Their raucous, revealing, and tragically funny adventure in New York will leave both of them changed forever.
