"A Crock of ..."

If you have not seen the “Tango Scene” in “A Scent of a Woman,” take a minute to watch it – maybe the most romantic scene in all moviedom.

Pacino plays a blind former Army officer, who gives a young woman a tango lesson at The Oak Room, at the old Plaza Hotel in New York.

“…some people live a lifetime ‘in a minute’…would you mind if we kept you campany – just to keep the womanizers from bothering you…”

And while you are on You Tube, look at this great speech, in the same movie, when Al Pacino’s character (Colonel Frank Slade) exposes and demolishes the phony values of a “elite” New England prep school. In a great speech defending Charlie Simms from a vindictive headmaster, Pacino shows the headmaster to be a cowardly martinet, and accurately calls the school’s whole disciplinary proceeding “a crock of shit.”

This movie won Al Pacino the Best Actor award in 1992.
