Pacino is great. He is this film. Worth repeated viewings for that alone.
Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis:
Timid prep school student earns much-needed money on a long weekend taking a job as companion to crusty, blind, hard-drinking ex-Army Colonel--little dreaming the colonel has his own agenda. Enjoyable (if barely believable) story galvanized by Pacino's bravura, Oscar-winning performance. Bo Goldman's script is seriously weakened by a story appendage that plays like leftover material from DEAD POETS SOCIETY. Based on the 1974 Italian film PROFUMO DI DONNA.
