‎بررسى درون مايه داستان بوى خوش يك زن ‎سوره به ابره محتاج است تا خود را از طريق آن متجلى كند. در چنين اوضاع و احوالى، از مردان بى رحم سينما به كمك آل پاچينو دعوت مى شود كه زن را-به قول سيمون دوبووار- جنس دوم يا فرعى نينداريد بلكه او اهميتى والا دارد در حد انصراف از خودكشى توسط فرانك. بنابراين تمام سختگيرى ها وسنگدلى هاى كورانه اى كه فرانك درحق چارلز(چارلى) در ابتدا ووسط فيلم انجام مى دهد با لطافتى زنانه گره كشايى مى شود و قضيه خيلى رمانتيك جمع مى شود. در نهايت، اين احتمال را هم نبايد از نظر دور نگه داشت كه چارلى دانش آموز همچون آل پاچينو و به وسيله بوى خوش يكى از همكلاسى ها، سرمست شود وعشقى كورانه را در جوانى تجربه كند و از درس اش حسابى عقب بيافتد.
