Reception

In Italy, the film was a hit, grossing over 800 million lira. Corriere della Sera film critic Giovanna Grassi described it as a pochade filled with stereotypes, which "depicts women as prostitutes, nymphomaniacs, or sleazy social climbers, and degrades the Italian man to a macchietta of his worst flaws".
