Reception
Curti stated that the film earned "moderate critical praise" on its release.[3] Tullio Kezich admired the bizarre fantastic atmosphere of the film, while it "exceeds in extravaganzas [...] where it would have taken discipline of choice" [4] Giovanni Grazzini that with this film Aliprandi had "grown up" and despite lacking his own personality as a director he "runs the show".[5]
