Charlie and Frank's growing relationship is the core o...

Review: Scent of a Woman (1992)

The Bottom Line: Bottom line, "Scent of a Woman" is a good entertaining movie to add to your collection.
Review: Unfortunately our local "Mom & Pop" video store is going out of business, but on a positive note they are selling used videos for a real steal. I purchased Scent of a Woman (1992) for only $1.00 dollar. Anytime I can get a movie starring Oscar...

Date of Review:  Oct 25, 1999
Review: Don't let the misleading title of this movie put you off. Far from being about the way a woman smells, this is a well written movie about 2 men, polar opposites ( it would seem) each struggling with life choices. One is plagued with a moral crisis...
