Production
The film marked the directorial debut of Paolo Spinola; for the lead role, he chose Giovanna Ralli, whom he had met in 1953 on the set of It Happened in the Park.[2] Spinola described the film as "the analysis of a marital relationship based entirely on a psychoanalytic fabric of a Freudian type", and the screenplay was co-written with psychoanalyst Piero Bellanova.[2]

The film received a domestic theatrical release in early 1965.[2] It was picked up by 20th Century Fox for international distribution, and released in the United States, where it premiered in New York in March 1966 as The Escape.[2] Fox released it also in France, Mexico, and West Germany.[2]
