To earn money for a plane trip home to Oregon at Christmas, he innocently takes a job over Thanksgiving weekend, looking after a verbally abusive, head-strong, blind, newly retired Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade, little knowing what adventure he was in for as the Lieutenant Colonel turns out to be quite a handful, with plans of his own in the Big Apple.

The Scent Of A Woman Review

Promotional Line: "Col. Frank Slade has a very special plan for the weekend. It involves travel, women, good
food, fine wine, the tango, chauffeured limousines and a loaded forty-five. And he's bringing Charlie along for the ride."
