Aquí muestra su afinidad con "The little foxes" (La loba) de William Wyler: la muerte de Horace Giddens (Herbert Marshall) ante su impertérrita esposa (Bette Davis) son aquí los estertores de Don Lope (Fernando Rey) mientras Tristana simula una llamada al médico para luego abrir la ventana de par en par y dejar pasar la ventisca nevada. La cosa es tan flagrante que no cabe aquí hablar de plagio sino de empréstito, como entre Bach y Vivaldi.
