The film was remade in 1964 as the Italian film Marriage Italian Style (Matrimonio all'italiana).

Reception

The film is remembered for offering to Merello what is considered one of her best film roles.[5][6][7][8][9]

It was also noted for its focus on biological and fictional paternity and the strong resonance of the theme in Argentinian society.[10][11]
