Release

Reception

The film was a commercial failure, grossing just 116 million lire at the Italian box office. Film historian Roberto Curti described it as "a lighter affair compared to contemporaneous poliziotteschi, and more in the vein of 1960s heist films, with passable action and slight comedy undertones". Leonardo Autera from Corriere della Sera noted that "in addition to being overly drawn out in its suspense, thereby sacrificing its effectiveness, it suffers from a pervasive lack of logic that borders on naivety and that undermines the credibility of its characters".
