Production

The film was an Italian-Argentine co-production between Chiara Film, Banco Film, and Glori Art.[1][2]

Release

The film was released in Italian cinemas by PAC in the early 1969.[1] It was released in the United States in 1971 with an R rating from the MPAA.[2] The American version of the film included new sex scenes by Brazzi as well as inserts by Ted Kneeland.[3]

Reception

A contemporary Variety review noted: "if you were watching this film without any regard for sense or substance, you'd have a reasonably good time" with its "very level artsy montage" but "a flat or inane dialog".[2] Vincent Canby wrote: "It can't make up its mind whether it's a peep show, a mystery or a suspense melodrama, and so more or less compromises by immediately failing at everything."[4]
