Reception
The film, "like various other films by Pastore, received a very limited theatrical release and attracted very few spectators".
Survival status
The only evidences of the film's existence today are its posters, lobby cards and soundtrack (composed by Piero Umiliani) as no remaining copy is known; it is thus considered a lost film.
Soundtrack
The film's original music was released by Beat Records in 2012.
