“HOLD on Charlie, I think we got another gear here!”

The Ferrari scene in Scent of a Woman is one of the most thrilling automotive clips in cinematic history.

From behind the wheel of a tutto rosso Ferrari Mondial t cabriolet, blind retired lieutenant-colonel Frank Slade played perfectly by a boisterous Al Pacino -HOO-aahh!- finds life affirmation for a few brief shining minutes in Brooklyn.

Mr. Slade’s frightened co-pilot is the insecure-with-life prep school pupil named Charlie (Chris O’Donnell).

Charlie’s harrowing job is to shadow the blind veteran in New York during his Thanksgiving vacation and Mr. O’Donnell’s low-key performance proves the perfect foil to Mr. Pacino’s bravado.

We thrill as the tailored vet whips the Ferrari’s V8 into a singing froth and with Charlie’s yelp-for-instruction, executes a perfect powerslide into an adjacent street and then again.

SLADE: I love this! I love it! Shall we take it to the max?

CHARLIE: We are.

Just watch out for the yellow flag…
