Film Notes
This version was produced from the only existing print, an original nitrate print of the Italian release version, coloured by tinting and toning.
“The film, one of the most popular ones played by Leda Gys, was preceded by exceptional publicity: Neapolitan-style decorations in movie theatres, trips to Naples for two people drawn as lottery prize, distribution of Leda Gys’s photos signed by the actress. Censorship required the cutting of a close-up of a cigarette box which read ‘Cocaine’ on its top”.
(Aldo Bernardini-Vittorio Martinelli, Leda Gys, attrice, Milan, Coliseum, 1987)
