More than for the subject and the script, it deserves to be considered for the cast comprising some of the greatest characters of Italian pop music at the time of the screamers. The film sees the first film success of Adriano Celentano (who the previous year had made a first appearance in I frenetici) and includes for example the version of the band I Campioni of the song considered the first Italian rock'n roll, Ciao ti dirò del 1958 with text by Giorgio Calabrese and music by Gian Franco Reverberi [1] already interpreted by Giorgio Gaber and then by Ricky Gianco.[4]
Sir Cesari (Mario Carotenuto) runs a record company that promotes the classical music he loves. But when he goes to prison, his attractive young daughter Giulia (Elke Sommer) takes over the company and uses it to promote rock n' roll singers instead.
