Did you know

Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo did not ask for money for their performances, reserving only a percentage of the film's takings.

Actor Giacomo Poretti stated in an interview that it was very difficult to film the scenes in the car because they had to use powerful headlamps which hurt their eyes and forced them to continuously use eye drops.

Some sketches of the movie are taken by previous stage and TV shows of the trio: the climb on the mountain, the movie set on the tram, the gangsters and Count Dracula. The three latter scenes are intended as hommages to the trio's favourite movie genres, respectively neorealism, gangster movies and horror.
