"Scent of a Woman" began filming in early October at Weldell Boys' High School. Although Al Pacino only had a few short exterior scenes at the school, he still reported to the set early. His arrival drew a large crowd of students. If it weren't for the school's staff maintaining order, who knows how chaotic it might have gotten. Even so, it took an entire afternoon to shoot just a few panoramic shots of the campus because of the commotion caused by Pacino's presence.
"You see that? That's the Corleone Godfather charisma," Adrian joked during a break.
"If I knew it would be like this, I would've waited until you finished shooting to come over," Pacino said, feeling somewhat apologetic.
"No worries, every film crew runs into these issues. Don't fret over it too much," Adrian didn't take it to heart.
