Production
The film was a co-production between Flora Film, Lea Film, and National Cinematografica. It was shot between Gubbio and Elios Studios in Rome.
Release
The film was released in Italian cinemas by Variety on 23 August 1972. Almost two years after its release, on 8 July 1974, Catanzaro praetor Donato Massimo Bartolomei banned the film for breaching the decency code; his ruling was overturned on 5 August 1974.
Reception
Domestically the film grossed about 520 million lire. Leonardo Autera on Corriere della Sera described it as a film "bordering on pornography and stuffed to the point of boredom with the heaviest profanity", with Laurenti's direction "at the extreme end of technical illiteracy".
