Reception A contemporary Variety review described the film as 'an unpretentious but subtle and conscientious low-budgeter' noting: 'Rossi deliberately envelopes the neo-realistic yarn in intermittent modern styling. Rapid cutting, free camera, overlapping commentary and dialog and flash flashbacks—puzzling in spots—succeed in blending with the slower poetic passages of his Po Valley setting as well as the underpaced scenes of human and social conflict'.Werb. (14 January 1970). "Giovinezza giovinezza - Youth March". Variety Film Reviews, Vol. 12. Garland Pub. pp. 411-2. .
For this film, Vittorio Storaro won a Nastro d'Argento for Best Cinematography.
