On Telly

Scent of a Woman(RTE 2 Saturday 2nd December 00:35)
Al Pacino's larger than life performance persuaded the Academy to finally grant the actor his first (and long overdue) Oscar. A fine production in it's own right but it's the work of Pacino that stands head and shoulders above it all. Magnificent!
