No it wouldn't, bga18. In fact, the ending of the movie is creepily similar to Nights of Cabiria.
On top of that, I kept telling myself while watching the movie that Mia Farrow's performance seems an awful lot like Giulietta Masina. Ironically, Masina would play a character based on Ginger Rogers just a few years later. Strange parallels indeed...
Yes it is. . . I instantly thought of Nights of cabiria. . . both women have the same ending. . . abandoned and deceived, their future uncertain . . just like in real life.
