Scent of a Woman -- Frank is a retired Lt Col in the US army. He's blind and impossible to get along with. Charlie is at school and is looking forward to going to university; to help pay for a trip home for Christmas, he agrees to look after Frank over thanksgiving. Frank's niece says this will be easy money, but she didn't reckon on Frank spending his thanksgiving in New York.

In this heartwarming tale of friendship, an overbearing, blind retired Lt. Colonel hires a young student to assist him. They then embark on a wild weekend trip that will change both their lives forever. Al Pacino won an Oscar for his performance.

Of these the most famous were Marriage, Italian Style; The Priest's Wife; and Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow."
