In his book 'Italian Crime Filmography 1968-1980', Roberto Curti noted that "the sociological ambitions end up in excruciating banalities, such as the confrontation between Mancuso and his poor but honset wife (Nicoletta Rizzi)"
The score by Gianni Marchetti was re-used partially in the films 'Emanuelle's Revenge' by Joe D'Amato and 'SS Girls' by Bruno Mattei.
