Scent of a Woman - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
Donald Trump Cameo
Donald Trump filmed a cameo scene where he gets out of a car at the Plaza Hotel, but it was cut from the final theatrical version of the film.
The Name 'Donna'
The name of the character Frank dances the tango with is a tribute to the original Italian title, 'Profumo di donna' (Scent of a Woman), as 'donna' means 'woman' in Italian.
Jack Daniel's Correction
Frank calls his whiskey 'John' Daniels. When Charlie corrects him, Frank jokes that he's known him so long it's a first-name basis, emphasizing his long-term relationship with alcohol as a coping mechanism.
