The film was produced by Megavision Sepac. [1] [2] It was shot in Rome in the summer of 1974. [3]
The film was distributed in Italian cinemas by P.A.C. starting from 14 October 1974. [1] Due to its taboo subject matter, focusing on two teenagers losing their virginity, the film initially received an 18+ rating; following protests and criticism in the press, the age restriction was reduced to 14+ on 29 October 1974. [1]
The film was a commercial success, grossing over 1.1 billion lire at the Italian box office. [1] It was generelly well received by critics. [1] Paolo Mereghetti described it as "successfully balancing farcical elements with a cheerful slice of social observation, [as well as] caricature and innuendo with an ironic and almost tender lightness". [4] Following its success, Sindoni directed an immediate sequel of the film with the same cast, Son tornate a fiorire le rose, released in 1975. [1]
