Scent Of A Woman
1992

The angry captain, wants no pity, wreaks havoc in every situation, nicknames the cadet Cuccio (Babyfat), and spends the next few days ordering him about, behaving badly in public and making a scene everywhere they go.

Somewhat overlooked since Al Pacino's Oscar-winning remake, Dino Risi's twice-nominated adaptation of Giovanni Arpino's novel boasts a similarly show-stopping performance from Vittorio Gassman. He won the best actor prize at Cannes for his portrayal of the blind army captain with a stubborn streak to match his simmering sense of resentment. However, that's where the similarities end, as Gassman journeys from Turin to Naples to enter into a suicide pact with a soldier disfigured in the accident that disabled him. There's sly humour in his relationship with rookie escort Alessandro Momo, but the romantic reunion with Agostina Belli is cringingly sentimental.
