Production

The film was originally shot in Rome. During the last stages of completion, Mussolini was overthrown. The final editing was done in Venice, the film capital of the Italian Social Republic, but without the presence of Chiarini. Two of its stars Luisa Ferida and Osvaldo Valenti were later executed by Italian Partisans for collaboration with the Fascist leadership.
