Also, the boy played quite a less central part both in the original movie and book, as the key role
– slightly changed from book to film – in the averted suicide was played by a young woman, a prostitute, who fell in love with the main character.

In Brest’s movie, the prostitute role is pushed in the background with no romantic involvement, and the old man/young woman relationship is just hinted by the tango scene with the girl (also added on).

This surely gave the opportunity to Mr Pacino to shine, but strongly downplayed the “woman” role referred in both movies’ title.
