Commercially, the film did not set the world on fire. Box office data suggests it had a limited theatrical run, and the director's career did not shift significantly toward cinema afterward, as he would not direct another film until the TV movie "La vera madre" in 1999.
Directed by Gianfranco Albano with a screenplay by Francesco Costa , the film is recognized for its unique, almost fairytale-like atmosphere. Despite its modest production, the director is credited with weaving "poetry and fairy tale with nothing," occasionally taking detours into scientific and fantasy realms that set it apart from standard Italian comedies of the era.
