Production
The Suspicious Death of a Minor was developed under the title Milano Violenta (transl. Violent Milan), a title later used for Mario Caiano's film Bloody Payroll. The film was a hybrid of a crime film and a giallo. The screenwriter, Ernesto Gastaldi, later spoke about the film stating "In my opinion, it's a minor film [...] the usually very good Martino didn't manage to give the film a decisive shot-in-the-arm."
