Reception

A satire about Italian showbiz, the film was generally badly received by critics; in her review for La Stampa, Lietta Tornabuoni criticized the director's inability of distancing from its subject, up to the point that "the thick vulgarity of his chosen subject turns into truculent cinematic vulgarity".^[2] Il Secolo XIX film critic Aldo Viganò described the film as "Some stuff that has been seen and known before, staged quite sloppily", with D'Agostino "more concerned with sneering at everyone [...] and pronouncing moral judgments [...] rather than bothering to ensure a glimmer of human consistency for his characters".^[1]

Domestically, the film grossed over 700 million lire.^[1]
