In interviews, director Ruggero Deodato (best remembered for his later grindhouse classics Cannibal Holocaust and The House at the Edge of the Park, and billed here as "Roger Rockefeller") has stated that this film’s lead actor , Nicola Mauro Parenti (also its producer) was “too stiff… a dog of an actor” (although they did work together on Zenabel a year later) and “that he didn’t give a shit about the film”. Therefore, if you begin this with low expectations, you might have a good time with it.
