Production

The film initially had the working title Una leggera euforia ('A slight euphoria'), and was conceived as a Flavio Bucci vehicle.

Reception

The film historian Eugenio Ercolani described the film as "a sort of homemade, underclass version of Jules et Jim (1962), a Midnight Cowboy (1969) out of tune and off-axis, even if revitalized by the strange duo composed of Joe Dallesandro and Massimo Ranieri."
