According to the director of the film, the late Luigi Scattini (new window, in Italiano), "In fact, the film was received very badly when it came out in Sweden. The Swedes made it even a diplomatic incident, with official protests and threats that prevented me from returning to Sweden for several years. The film was broadcast on Swedish television on Christmas Eve, thanks to the complicity of some journalists who sought the scandal at all costs."

He also acknowledges that Mahna Mahna was written for his film by Piero Umiliani.
