ABOUT THE ARTIST
This is the original soundtrack to Profumo Di Donna, a classic Italian comedy film directed by Dino Risi, based on Il Buio E Il Miele, a story by Giovanni Arpino. When released in 1974, both Risi and the leading actor Vittorio Gassman won important Italian and French awards. The 1992 American remake, Scent Of A Woman, features Al Pacino, Chris O'Donnell, Philip Seymour Hoffman. The story: a blind Italian captain, accompanied by his aide Ciccio, who has been assigned to him by the army, is on his way from Turin to Naples to meet with an old comrade who was also disfigured in the same military incident. Unknown to his aide, the Captain means to fulfill a suicide pact there. While they journey, the Captain asks Ciccio to help him spot beautiful women. Unsatisfied with the boy's descriptions, he uses his nose instead, claiming that he can smell a beautiful woman. During their journey, he carries with him a picture of his beloved Sara, whom he could not bear to have see him disfigured and helpless. The suicide pact is eventually thwarted once Sara enters the picture, and the boy Ciccio does some much-needed growing up.
