Production After penning the initial script, Manfredi asked Mario Monicelli to direct it; during pre-production, Monicelli found himself at odds with Manfredi over several aspects of the project and ultimately withdrew from it. Alberto Lattuada was called to replace Monicelli, and principal cinematography started in Venice on April 1981. Three weeks before filming wrapped, on 8 July, Lattuada abruptly abandoned the direction of the film following his repeated clashes with Manfredi, and was replaced by the same Manfredi.
Reception The film was a moderate success, grossing slightly more than one billion lire at the Italian box office. It received mixed reviews from critics.
