Espanol Tango girl in scent of a woman look up guy for bites

About

It tells the tale of Frank Pacinoa drunken and blind veteran who is looking to live it up for what he believes will be the last time in his life.

Description

When it comes to performances that transfix you due to the convincing portrayal of a particularly complicated character, Al Pacino as Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade in Scent of a Woman sits at the vertex of the thespian mountain.

His performance is method acting at its finest. Frank Slade has more than a few complexities — he's blind and suicidal, yet has the flair of a crude poet.

Staying in a suite at the Waldorf Astoria, the young schoolboy wakes up to find Frank Slade in the midst of a fitting. Slade's adventure rakishly starts with a fitting for a made-to-measure suit deed by the defining authority of classical menswear, Alan Flusser who also deed the wardrobe for Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko in Wall Street.

He bespeaks a three-piece, single-breasted Prince of Wales check suit with lovely, subtle and fine tangerine overcheck which adds a touch of pizzazz to what is a very traditional pattern. The jacket is cut with peak lapels and a high break, both of which accentuate an elegant roll that stems from a two button configuration.

The coat itself is long, coming to an end below the seat while the fit is generous which is to be expected of American tailoring circa The shoulders are strong with a roped sleeve head that evokes a sense of masculinity, which is appropriate considering his military roots. His trousers are loose and feature single, forward-facing pleats.

Anchoring the ensemble is a white tab-collar shirt, the collar of which is slightly creased which, perhaps unintentionally, is a nod to sprezzatura. In the breast pocket is a simple, plain white squarewhile between the collar is a burgundy polka dot tie with an acute dimple. It all comes to life in one of the most iconic dance scenes in cinematic history in the grand old European-style Pierre Hotel.

She innocently agrees to dance with the blind, courteous man. Home Style. The tango scene in Scent of a Woman took two weeks of practicing and three days of filming to perfect.
