Production
How to Kill 400 Duponts was a film starring popular singer and television host Johnny Dorelli.[4] The Italian title Arriva Dorellik made reference to Dorelli's character Dorellik, which premiered on his television show Johnny Sera.[4]
Release
How to Kill 400 Duponts was released in Italy in 1967.[1] Producer Dino De Laurentiis had been producing a film based on the Diabolik fumetti neri series and sued the producers of How to Kill 400 Duponts over their original title Dorellik, which led to the film being re-titled Arriva Dorellik (lit. Here Comes Dorellik) just before the film's release.[4] Terry-Thomas, who played a starring role in Arriva Dorellik, also ended up guest-starring in De Laurentiis' Danger: Diabolik.
