Nick the Sting was described by Italian film historian and critic Roberto Curti as a "work for hire" for director Fernando Di Leo.[2] The film went into production after finishing Kidnap Syndicate with a screenplay already written by Alberto Silvestri based around the film The Sting.[2] Di Leo commented that film had "quite a good script [...] but it had a couple huge problems: it would cost too much to film as it was written, and badly needed a charismatic lead."[2]
Nick the Sting was shot at Elios Studio in Rome and on location in Geneve.[1] Leo recalled that the film did not have a good production, finding Merenda not up to the task as a lead and the script did not come up as well as it had on paper.[2]
Nick the Sting was distributed theatrically in Italy by Interfilm on 29 April 1976.[1] The film grossed a total of 427,272,200 Italian lire domestically.[2] It was released on DVD in Italy by Raro Video.[2]
