Movie Info

When young army cadet Ciccio (Alessandro Momo) is assigned to spend seven days in the service of a wounded army captain, he little suspects what's in store. Blinded by an explosion, Fausto Consolo (Vittorio Gassman) is nevertheless a pompous, prideful and lecherous aristocrat who needs Ciccio to keep him out of trouble. As they travel across Italy by train, Fausto variously ruffles feathers and chases women until they reach Naples, where he plans to honor a suicide pact.

Scent has the sweet smell of success, and Gassman comes out smelling like a rose. And, aside from those unforgivable cliches, it's a worthwhile movie.

... ends with the harsh, introspective whimper of reality, not the bang of Hollywood cliché.

Audience Reviews for Scent of a Woman

Apr 18, 2010

Vittorio Gassman is mesmerizing ~ what a gifted actor! A revealing tour through Italy, sometimes seedy. A very human film.

Stefanie C Super Reviewer

Agostina Belli é bellisima, and Vittorio Gassman is outstanding as the cynic, blind ex military teaching things about life and women to the naive Alessandro Momo. Another comedy gem by the notable craftsman Dino Risi.
