Pacino is unbelievable in this excellent film. So far out of the usual characters he portrays. A childish prank while in the Army, blinded him, not only damaging his sight, but also, his emotions.

Scent of a Woman Trivia Questions
1. When Charlie and the Colonel took their First Class seats on the plane from Logan to NY, they were served by a stewardess named Daphne. What was the name of the cologne that the Colonel noticed Daphne wearing?

From Quiz "Scent Of A Woman"....Tango On!

Answer: Floris

Charlie was getting to know the Colonel. He had heard that at times, when a person was blind, their other senses became extra sensitive. However, he was shocked when the Col. guessed the fragrance that Daphne was wearing. Many more surprises were to come during this unique holiday weekend in NY, that perhaps would teach young Charlie more than he could ever learn while attending Baird.

2. According to Colonel Frank (Al Pacino), what do you do when you're doing the tango and you make a mistake and get all tangled up?

From Quiz More "Scent of a Woman": Oh, More New Questions!

Answer: "you just tango on"

"No mistakes in the tango. No. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake and get all tangled up, you just tango on." Just another example of the great dialogue in this smashing screenplay. Since he knows Mr. Daniel so well, Frank refers to him as John instead of Jack.

3. In what year was "Scent of a Woman" released?

From Quiz More "Scent of a Woman": New Questions

Answer: 1992

And when the Oscars were given in 1993, Pacino got his! Just think of all the others he should have gotten!

4. Where was Charlie (Charles) Simms from?

From Quiz "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man

Answer: Gresham, Oregon

Attending Baird School on student aid made Charles Simms the butt of teasing among the rich kids. Charlie truly deserved to be at Baird because he'd earned it, the rich kids' fathers were former students and therefore made sure their sons attended their Alma Mater. The last thing on these boys' minds was studying. Their parents indulged them with anything they desired. They had no appreciation for Baird. It was expected that they attend an ivy league school.

5. What was Al Pacino's character's name in the movie?

From Quiz Scent Of A Woman

Answer: Lt.Col. Frank Slade

6. When Charlie and Col. Slade entered their suite at the Waldorf, the Colonel requested that Charlie check the bar and make sure it was filled with his favorite liquor. What was it?

From Quiz "Scent Of A Woman"....Tango On!

Answer: John Daniels (Jack Daniels)

Charlie was in awe of the Waldorf and was beginning to be in awe of the Colonel. He also noticed the Colonel's fondness for drinking. He wondered where this blind retired officer got the money to pay for all this.

7. How was Frank blinded?

From Quiz More "Scent of a Woman": Oh, More New Questions!

Answer: in an explosion

Frank's nephew Randy tells the story, and Frank doesn't deny it. Frank had had too much to drink and was conducting a training exercise with some hand grenades, juggling them according to Randy, and one went off, blinding Frank.

8. Who directed the film?

From Quiz More "Scent of a Woman": New Questions

Answer: Martin Brest

Brest didn't direct a lot of movies in the twentieth century, but most of them were good ones, like "Going in Style", "Beverly Hills Cop", "Midnight Run", and "Meet Joe Black". He was born in the Bronx in 1951.

9. What was the name of the scholarship that Charles Simms won?

From Quiz "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man

Answer: The Young American Merit Scholarship

Charlie appreciated the scholarship and did his best at school. What he never realized, until he later made the acquaintance of Lt. Col. Frank Slade, was that the qualities that he possessed and never considered worth very much, were priceless and could not be taught at Baird or any other school.

10. What was the character name of Chris O'Donnell?

From Quiz Scent Of A Woman

Answer: Charlie Simms

11. In the hotel, Charlie is watching a black-and-white sitcom. What show is it?

From Quiz More "Scent of a Woman": Oh, More New Questions!

Answer: The Munsters

On the sitcom, two men, apparently detectives, knock on the door, and, when Herman answers it, they're a bit surprised, to say the least.

12. What is the name of the school Charlie (Chris O'Donnell) goes to?

From Quiz More "Scent of a Woman": New Questions

Answer: Baird

Baird is another one of those prep schools like the one in "Dead Poets Society". Is Charlie truly a "Baird man"? Nope, he's much better than that! The real-life school where filming was done is actually the Emma Willard School in Troy, New York. It was the first US secondary school for women.

13. What kind of car(make) did the Board of Trustees' give to Headmaster Trask?

From Quiz "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man

Answer: a Jaguar

The Headmaster took his position at Baird very seriously. He kept his nose to the grindstone on all school issues, as the Board was always watching him and the donations from the alumni whose sons now attended Baird, kept coming in. His goal was to keep it that way, even if it meant "schmoozing" the wealthy former students of his beloved Baird.

14. Why was Chris O'Donnell trying to make extra money?

From Quiz Scent Of A Woman

Answer: To go home for Christmas.

15. When the bellboy arrived in their suite at the Waldorf, what was the first thing the Colonel asked him about?

From Quiz "Scent Of A Woman"....Tango On!

Answer: the escort scene

Charlie remarked that the Colonel had a one-track mind...women. The Colonel then said his second favorite thing in the world was a Ferrari.

16. Two cars that play an important part in the movie are the headmaster's car and the one Frank "test drives." What are the makes?

From Quiz More "Scent of a Woman": Oh, More New Questions!

Answer: Jaguar and Ferrari

The headmaster was apparently given the Jag by the school's directors. However, it got royally trashed in the big practical joke scene. Frank chose Ferrari, one of the world's greatest cars, for what he thought would be his last drive.

17. Charlie's school and Frank Slade's residence are both in the same state. What state is it?

From Quiz More "Scent of a Woman": New Questions

Answer: New Hampshire

At first it seems that it might be Massachusetts since they fly out of Logan Airport, but Charlie says at least twice that it's in New Hampshire. That state's motto is "Live free or die". The best one, in my opinion.

18. What was Charlie seeking and what did he finally find, on the School's Bulletin Board?

From Quiz "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man

Answer: an ad for a job for Thanksgiving weekend

Although his schoolmates were all planning trips for the holiday weekend that their wealthy fathers were paying for and they asked Charlie if he wanted to join them knowing he was on aid, Charlie accepted his financial position as gracefully as he could and went forward with his decision to work for Thanksgiving weekend. He wanted to earn his plane fare home for Christmas.

19. How much money was Chris O'Donnell going to make?

From Quiz Scent Of A Woman

Answer: $300.00

He earned every penny of it.

20. What was their limo driver's name?

From Quiz "Scent Of A Woman"....Tango On!

Answer: Manny

The limo driver was the next one the Colonel asked about getting escorts. He agreed to look into it for him. The limo driver was a nice guy and was becoming quite fond of the Colonel and Charlie.

21. What is or was Frank's military rank?

From Quiz More "Scent of a Woman": New Questions

Answer: Lieutenant Colonel

Frank is a retired lieutenant colonel. Charlie addresses Frank as lieutenant at first, but Frank sets him straight immediately. Lieutenant colonel (silver oak leaf insignia) is one grade above major (gold oak leaf) and one below full colonel (eagle).

22. What did Charlie and George Willis witness when they were walking back from the school library that fateful night?

From Quiz "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man

Answer: their friends rigging a practical joke on the streetlight.

Charlie and George saw three of their schoolmates, George's friends, rigging an exploding balloon on the streetlight above the parking lot. Suddenly a female teacher walked by, who George distracted so she would not notice the deed being done. The next day, when the joke came to pass and the headmaster got soaked as a result, the female teacher came forward and Charle Simms and George Willis were identified as witnesses and therefore called into Headmaster Trask's office. When Trask's questions bore no fruit, he sent Willis out of the room in order to question Charlie alone.

23. Who won an Oscar for this movie?

From Quiz Scent Of A Woman

Answer: Al Pacino

Al Pacino won his first Oscar for Best Actor in this film.

24. Frank was in the army. What other branch of the military is mentioned in the movie?

From Quiz More "Scent of a Woman": Oh, More New Questions!

Answer: the Coast Guard

Police officer Gore, who stops Frank for speeding, says he was in the Coast Guard. Fortunately, Gore doesn't realize Frank is blind.

25. Trask then made Charlie understand that it was up to him, Trask, to recommend one single student who was on student aid to be granted a scholarship to college and that Trask had submitted Charlie's name. What was the name of the college?

From Quiz "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man

Answer: Harvard

Charlie understood that he was being blackmailed by Trask in order to give the names of the other students involved in the practical joke. When he left and met George outside, George said the Headmaster was playing "good cop, bad cop" with them. He said that it was the general attitude of the boys to stick together and never leave anyone "twisting in the wind". The Headmaster gave them Thanksgiving weekend to "think it over". When they returned, there would be a hearing of the student council and at that time, if they did not come forward with names... they would both be expelled.

26. Where did Al Pacino want Chris O'Donnell to take him?

From Quiz Scent Of A Woman

Answer: New York City, NY

27. According to Colonel Slade, why was the bread west of the Colorado not as good as it was in NYC?

From Quiz "Scent Of A Woman"....Tango On!

Answer: water was too alkaline

As the Colonel pulled apart a dinner roll, he said they had been in his dreams when he served in the army.

28. What type of weapon does Frank use in his suicide attempt?

From Quiz More "Scent of a Woman": Oh, More New Questions!

Answer: a .45 semi automatic

The .45 automatic is, or was, a standard sidearm for U.S. Army officers.

29. According to Frank, what is the bellboy's nationality or ethnic background?

From Quiz More "Scent of a Woman": New Questions

Answer: Puerto Rican

Frank figures out the bellboy's background. He says, "Puerto Ricans. They make the best infantrymen". I added the phrase "ethnic background" because Puerto Ricans are actually Americans because their island is a commonwealth of the United States. "Nobody knows in America/Puerto Rico's in America": Stephen Sondheim, "West Side Story".
