Entertainment Halton Hills. This Week, Wednesday, March 24, 1993 — Page.9 - Powerful Pacino performance By Lawson Oates and Dawn Wood Scent of a Woman is director Martin Brest’s celebration of human integrity against a back- ground of artificial values and morality. He does this by intertwin- ing two very interesting plot lines. The movie begins at an elite New England prep school with the focus on Charles, a humble student (Chris O'Donnell) who is there on a schol- arship. However, his chances at making the big money league by entering Harvard are threatened when he and another student wit- ness a prank that humiliates the schoolmaster (James Rebhorne). during the Thanksgiving weekend and Charlie dutifully takes a job housesitting to earn some extra money. Enter Al Pacino: blind house resident and career army officer now retired, who saw com- bat action in the Viet Nam War and served as a military attache on President Lyndon Johnson’s staff. Pacino puts in a powerful perfor- Movie Review mance as the Jack Daniels-downing Lt. Col. In fact, he’s known JD so long that he’s taken to calling his liquid friend “John” Daniels. He is loud, abrasive, and clearly not someone to mess with. Since his retirement, he has been living out a low profile existence with some relatives he refers to as The Flintstones. When they go away for Thanksgiving and arrange for Charlie to housesit, they don’t realize that the Lt. Col. has some plans of his own, including a high style visit to the Big Apple, and a revisit to the former days of his power and glory. Pacino’s lines are terrific. He has many profound statements and one- lines that are an asset to his living- on-the-edge character. For example, in response to arlie’s dilemma about whether or t to squeal on the prankster when he is put in front of the school and disciplinary committee, the Lt. Col. advises him that there are those that face the music, and those that run for cover, and that running for cover is ‘The title of the movie has little to do with the action, but instead adds a motive for it. In fact, in his women-hunting excursion over Thanksgiving, the blind Lt. Col. identifies women by their perfume, and the ladies are quick to fall under his spell. In one memorable scene he teaches the tango to a young woman (following an identification of the soap she is wearing) who is awaiting her din- ner date. He knows all the brands, including toilet soaps. This movie is a lot of fun to watch. Pacino breathes life, albeit questionable life, into his role. Likewise, Chris O’Donnell is con- vincing as.a sensitive, sensible young man caught in a real life drama. However, there is some obscene language, which may not be such a bad thing,depending on which side of the battlefield you’re sitting on. PS. This movie runs about two- and-a-half hours. Be prepared for an intermission after the first hour.

Ned Sherrin, in his book, Theatrical Anecdotes, says voice and was always quotable, even if some of the shafts of wit owed more to-his exquisite timing and impeccable delivery than to‘a special sparkle of their own.” He was the master of the clipped one- word reply, especially to the over- deferential reporters of pre-war days: “Mr. Coward, have you any- thing to se to the Star?” - «to the Sun?” - to the Times?” - Some other famous Noel Coward . quips: On Hollywood: “I’m not so keen on Hollywood. I'd rather have anice cup of cocoa.” On being told his accountant had blown his brains out: “I’m amazed. I had no idea he was such a good shot.” To actresses who had not done their homework: “Will you call me, Noel?” I certain- ly will - many things.” “I had my lines backwards last night.” “That’s the way you’re saying them this morning”. “If you go on like that, PHONE PROS NEEDED For aggressive and professional individuals seeking to gain an income.
