Production
Cran d'arrêt is based on the novel A Private Venus by Giorgio Scerbanenco, the first novel in the Duca Lamberti series. It was sold on August 29, 1967 to Alberto Pugliese's Produzioni Cinematografiche Mediterranee. The rights reverted back to the publisher as no film was made within two years per their contract. It was then sold again to February 28, 1969 Francis Cosne's FranCos Films.[1]
It is a French and Italian international co-production. It was produced by the Paris-based FrancCos Films and the Rome based San Marco Cinematografica. The latter company put up 30% of the budget that was estimated at about 1.7 million francs.[1] It began shooting on July 24, 1969 and was shot on location in Milan and Lake Como with interior scenes being shot at Paris studios.[2]
The film's diretor was Yves Boisset, whom the French producers chose after seeing his film Coplan sauve sa peau (1968). Boisset considered the film to do "in the meantime" as he was making plans for another film project with The Cop (1970).[2] Boisset later said that the film was a "flawed film" and that it "seems obvious to me, but perhaps it's not as bad as I thought."[2]

'Cran d'arrêt was released in France on January 14, 1970.[1] The film had 347,809 entries in France.[3]
It was later released in Italy on August 27, 1970 as Il caso "Venere privata".[1] It grosses a total of 232,593,000 Italian lire.[3]
