It was made to capitalise on the growing popularity in Italy of Giallo, mystery and thriller fiction notable for their yellow covers and melodramatic plots often written by Anglo-American writers. It is also considered an early precursor of the successful Italian Giallo film genre, which boomed after the Second World War.[2]
The film's sets were designed by the art director Gastone Medin. It was shot at the Cines Studios in Rome.
