Reception

Tom Lisanti and Louis Paul in Film Fatales: Women in Espionage Films and Television, 1962-1973 criticized "the listless direction of Franco Prosperi" (which the book confuses with Franco E. Prosperi, one of the co-directors of Mondo Cane ) and "the obvious low buget (spare sets, monotonous camera set-ups)".^[6]
