Production

The film is an Italian-Spanish co-production by Selenia and RM Film. [1] It was entirely shot in Italy, between De Paolis Studios in Rome, Anzio, Mazzano Romano and Villa Mussolini in Riccione. [2] Oberdan Trojani served as cinematographer, though in the official credits he was replaced by Spanish cinematographer Pablo Ripoll, a choice made to obtain funding from the Spanish government. [3]

Reception

In a contemporary review, Corriere della Sera described the film as 'violent and mediocre'. [4] Italian critic Marco Giusti particularly criticized Glenn Saxson's performance ('expressionless') and costumes ('terrible, [...] a mish-mash of Zorro and Clint Eastwood'). [3]
