in his 1988 release "women on the verge of a nervous breakdown," spanish director pedro almodóvar pays homage to the film. his lead character pepa marcos (carmen maura), a voice artist, passes out while dubbing vienna's voice in a scene where johnny (voiced earlier by pepa's ex-lover iván) and vienna banter about their conflicted past. almodóvar's film also ends with a chase and an obsessed woman shooting at his lead character.
