== Radnja ==

Priča se vrti oko Charlieja Simmsa (Chris O'Donnell), studenta privatne pripremne škole, koji dolazi iz siromašne obitelji. Kako bi zaradio novac za let kući u Gresham, Oregon za Božić, Charlie na Dan zahvalnosti uzima posao skrbnika nad umirovljenim vojnim časnikom, pukovnikom Frankom Sladeom (Al Pacino), čangrizavim srednjovječnim čovjekom koji je sada slijep te je nemoguće družiti se s njim. Slade odlučuje posjetiti New York te zatraži pomoć od Charlieja da ga povede na put. Dok Charlie vodi pukovnika Sladea kroz New York, suočava se s velikim problemom u školi. Kolege studenti su napravili zlobnu šalu s ravnateljem, a jedino Charlie i George Willis mlađi (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) znaju identitete prijestupnika. Nakon što je zaprijetio obojici studenata izbacivanjem, ravnatelj Trask zamoli Willisa da izađe iz ureda. U tom trenutku, pokuša potkupiti Charlieja obećanjem da će mu srediti prijem na Harvard, ako oda imena onih koji su se grubo našalili s njim. Charlie mu ništa ne odgovori, a Trask ga upozori da mora biti iskren ili će snositi posljedice.

Slade vodi Charlieja po New Yorku. Odsjedaju u hotelu Waldorf-Astoria. Nakon ručka u otmjenom restoranu u kojem hamburgeri koštaju 24 dolara, Slade posjećuje svoje rođake, gdje pukovnik Slade otkriva prave razloge svoga puta u New York: kako bi jeo u skupom restoranu, odsjeo u luksuznom hotelu, plesao i spavao s lijepom ženom, a tada počinio samoubojstvo svojim pištoljem. Nakon toga posjećuju pukovnikovu obitelj, a Charlie saznaje kako je Slade izgubio vid. Kasnije, pukovnik otpleše tango s djevojkom čiji ga je parfem opčinio, vozi Ferrari, s nervoznim i zabrinutim Charliejem koji ga prati. Charlie je u srcu dobra osoba, odbija odati kolege ravnatelju, sažalijeva pukovnika Sladea te se drži uz njega kroz njegove neprilike. Nakon što Slade prevari Charlieja da ode iz sobe kako bi nabavio cigaru, njegov podmukli plan propada nakon što se Charlie sjetio da Slade kod sebe ima vojni pištolj Colt .45. Vraća se u sobu i pronalazi Sladea koji je spreman počiniti samoubojstvo. Nakon nekoliko minuta razgovora, galame i akcije, Charlie uvjerava Sladea da se ne ubije. Tada Slade shvaća da je Charlie vrlo hrabra i snažna osoba u srcu, te da neće pustiti ni bezvrijednog, ogorčenog čovjeka, kao što je on, da si oduzme život.

== Plot summary == 
Charlie Simms (Chris O'Donnell) is a student at a private preparatory school who comes from a poor family. To earn the money for his flight home to Gresham, Oregon for Christmas, Charlie takes a job over Thanksgiving looking after retired U.S. Army officer Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade (Al Pacino), a cantankerous middle-aged man who is now blind, alcoholic and impossible to get along with.

Slade decides to visit New York City and enlists the help of Charlie on the trip.  Charlie is distracted by a very big problem at school. Fellow students have played a prank on the school's headmaster, and only Charlie and George Willis, Jr. (Philip Seymour Hoffman, listed as "Philip S. Hoffman" in the credits) know the identity of the culprits. After threatening both with expulsion, Headmaster Trask tries to bribe Charlie by assuring him admission to Harvard if he names those who committed the prank. Charlie tells him nothing, but is warned that he must or suffer the consequences.

Slade takes a room at the Waldorf-Astoria. During dinner at the Oak Room (at the Plaza Hotel), he reveals the real purpose for his trip to New York City: to eat at an expensive restaurant, stay at a luxury hotel, sleep with a beautiful woman, and then commit suicide.

They pay a surprise visit to the Colonel's family for Thanksgiving dinner. Charlie learns how Slade lost his sight - by foolishly juggling hand grenades while drunk. Slade's crude behavior at dinner further alienates his brother and other relatives.

Later, the blind Colonel tangoes with a girl whose perfume captivates him (hence the title of the movie). He drives a Ferrari with a very nervous Charlie in the passenger seat. Slade tricks Charlie into leaving the hotel room to buy him a cigar, but a suspicious Charlie comes back to find Slade ready to commit suicide with his gun. After a few tense minutes, Charlie is able to stop Slade from shooting himself.

By this point, Charlie has become very loyal to the Colonel. During their Thanksgiving, Charlie is the sole person to stand by the Colonel, and defend him against Slade's family. Charlie's loyalty is not lost on Slade, as Slade offers him advise numerous times and even throttles a member of his own family in defense of Charlie. 

Charlie returns to school, where George Willis, Jr. is about to betray him. Headmaster Trask conducts a courtroom-like assembly of the student body. He questions Willis, who with the help of his influential father is able to weasel out of the jam by claiming to be only partially certain of the culprits' identity, suggesting that Charlie had a better view than he did. Charlie is about to be expelled when Colonel Slade, who has come to be by his side, delivers a compelling speech on his behalf. He reveals that Charlie has been offered a bribe to inform on his friends. When Slade says, "If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a flame thrower to this place," he wins over the students and the committee reviewing the case. The three young men who pulled the prank on Trask are placed on disciplinary probation, but Willis is given no recognition and Charlie is exonerated.
