Al Pacino won his first Best Actor Oscar® for his brilliant portrayal of an overbearing, blind retired Lieutenant Colonel who hires a young guardian (Chris O'Donnell), to assist him. It's a heart-wrenching and heartwarming tale of opposites attracting when they embark on a wild weekend trip that will change the lives of both men forever.

She said in an article that they never rehearsed the dance together. He wanted it to be spontaneous . I think that’s what made it so magical!! Beautiful girl, gorgeous man!!

[junii]

Her shy smile makes her stunningly beautiful.

[surfrider-xx]

One of the most beautiful scene that I have ever watched.

The girl dancing with Al Pacino is extraordinary, What a beautiful young

27 years later and I’m still in love with Dona.

“ No mistakes in the tango darling, not like life, simple, that’s what makes tango so great. If you make mistake, you get all tangled up, just tango on!”— what an intellectual & inspiring statement 👍💕

One of my top, favorite scenes out of all the films I've ever seen. I could watch this all day and listen to this same music all day too. Living in Manhattan I've talked to Pacino twice, one of them was a couple years ago; he's quite a character and full of charisma and energy, he does not disappoint!

[pacrimco]

Every once in a great while, it all comes together perfectly. This was one of those very rare moments.

The actress in this scene Gabriella anwar... She's really very beautiful and breath-taking, What's even more attractive is that Al-pacino handling her gracefully and she enjoying and giggling in his company makes her and this scene even more 😍✨❤

[darrylwood]

Gabrielle Anwar, who was only 19 at the time, more than held her own against an American Acting Royalty Icon in this scene. Her beauty, femininity, vulnerability and overall sexiness here are breathtaking!

[conham]

Love this movie. The tango scene was so well done. It looked like they had never danced together and he was whispering instructions to her on what to do next. This scene always warms my heart and makes me smile.

[mariadelurdesfrimer]

Al is so good, he makes me cry with this fabulous tango. He is great! I repeat and repeat this scene and never tire!

[evamaier]

Absolute perfection, idea, acting, choreography, camera, cut, choice of music, well, mostly the director, he makes us see.

[mohitgupta]

Its a dance of a lifetime.. nobody is a dancer but its performed and captured so graceful and vivid making it a precious rare gem..

[dougsamuelson]

The really spectacular piece of acting here was HERS. She totally sold the idea that she'd never danced a tango before, while we know she'd been rehearsing and taking lessons for weeks. The blend of skill and innocence is mesmerizing. BRILLIANT!

[maryhendersonbosch]

So beautiful, his gentleness with her, really shows his character.

[Kim-fvbn]

"I'm afraid of making a mistake." Her saying represents everybody's feeling when confronts totlly new huddle in life.
