Reception
In Italy, the film was a hit, grossing over 800 million lira.[1] Corriere della Sera film critic Giovanna Grassi described it as a pochade filled with stereotypes, which "depicts women as prostitutes, nymphomaniacs, or sleazy social climbers, and degrades the Italian man to a macchietta [caricature] of his worst flaws".[3]
