The film was an Italian-Argentine co-production between Chiara Film, Banco Film, and Glori Art.
The film was released in Italian cinemas by PAC in the early 1969. It was released in the United States in 1971 with an R rating from the MPAA. The American version of the film included new sex scenes by Brazzi as well as inserts by Ted Kneeland.
A contemporary Variety review noted: "if you were watching this film without any regard for sense or substance, you'd have a reasonably good time" with its "very level artsy montage" but "a flat or inane dialog". Vincent Canby wrote: "It can't make up its mind whether it's a peep show, a mystery or a suspense melodrama, and so more or less compromises by immediately failing at everything."
