In his autobiography,[3] Moore explains about his role in Romulus and the Sabines (1961 film): "Eventually I did get paid but only, I suspect, because Bomba wanted to offer me a second picture, No Man's Land."

An Italian contemporary review recalls that the story is loosely based on Maupassant's "Boule de Suif'.[4]
