Scent of a Woman is a movie starring Al Pacino. The plot is about a prep school boy who gets involved in a prank and is nearly thrown out of school, but that's just a framework. The real story is the student's relationship with the reclusive blind man he's being paid to take care of. James Rebhorn turns in his usual excellent portrayal of an annoying authority figure. Look also for a young Philip S. Hoffman.
Charlie Simms is not going home from his expensive prep school for Thanksgiving, while his friends wonder whether to go skiing in Stowe or Sugarbush. He's on financial aid, so he applies for a job taking care of a housebound relative.
