[3] Piero Virgentino from La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno described it as "an adult comic book which is dull and conventional in terms of situations, ridiculous with its banal fotoromanzi–style dialogues, and completely lacking any psychological depth". [2] The film was a box office success, grossing domestically about 825 million lire. [2]
