If you only viewed the American derivative of this film, you have not experienced 'Scent of a Woman.' Vittorio Gassman is mesmerizing ~ what a gifted actor! A revealing tour through Italy, sometimes seedy. A very human film.

Gassman's performance is unforgettable.A masterpiece of the Italian cinema.Not to be confused with Al Pacino's movie bearing the same title but only a good copy.

I liked the American Version better. In the Italian version, the captain finally overcomes his pride and admits to the woman he loves that he needs her. That was good, but seemed to work on only one level. In the American version, the colonel not only chooses life, but he redeems himself by saving Charlie. And it is implied that he had begun a relationship with one of Charlie's teachers that could lead to the thing that the colonel had always dreamed of but never felt that he could attain: the love of a good woman. In both versions, the guy gets the girl, but I felt the American version was superior. There was more of a relationship between the characters that the Italian version lacked.

A rather stilted ungainly original version of Scent of a Woman. It was not all that enjoyable but I stayed with it and it did have its moments. The main character was made to look like a dirty old man which was quite unsavoury and ruined it a bit for me. I am keen on the remake (even though it is mainly a vehicle for Al Pacino), but it was good to see the original, warts and all. The Italian setting and scenery was great to see.

Great movie. This is the original movie, long before Al Pacino.

I think the remake was a little better.

Profumo di Donna might seem like a cheesy Italian romance and it does have its overly melodramatic moments, but due to the subtle acting of Gassman and the great chemistry between Gassman and Momo the movie has a well-balanced narration. It cannot simply be reduced to sex jokes and lewdness, although Fausto's jokes sometimes are rather crude. The writing is spot on and the message of a broken old army captain is fantastically presented against the backdrop of some of Italy’s most beautiful cities.Overall 7/10Twitter: @Max4Movies

I love this film. It makes the remake of "The scent of a woman" with Al Pacino produced 20 years years later looking like a very inferior production. Dull, boring and uninteresting. Hollywood producers can learn a lot from this Italian production with Vittorio Gassman and Alessandro Momo.I give this film 5 stars, because deserves them. If you get a chance buy it or rent it. You won't regret it.

La película es una maravilla, sin lugar a dudas y si bien no ha habido restauración alguna, la calidad de la imagen es buena.

Ho già detto tutto nel titolo... Bisogna de-regionalizzare il DVD, poi copiarlo (cosa che sarebbe illegale. Visto che l' acquisto è stato regolare, mi sono buttato; però...)

Nothing like the English version. Truly disappointed. Just naked girls running around with a lecherous old fool. Truly disappointing. Garbage
