Production

The film was produced by Megavision Sepac. It was shot in Rome in the summer of 1974.

Release

The film was distributed in Italian cinemas by P.A.C. starting from 14 October 1974. Due to its taboo subject matter, focusing on two teenagers losing their virginity, the film initially received an 18+ rating; following protests and criticism in the press, the age restriction was reduced to 14+ on 29 October 1974.

Reception

The film was a commercial success, grossing over 1.1 billion lire at the Italian box office. It was generelly well received by critics. Paolo Mereghetti described it as "successfully balancing farcical elements with a cheerful slice of social observation, [as well as] caricature and innuendo with an ironic and almost tender lightness". Following its success, Sindoni directed an immediate sequel of the film with the same cast, Son tornate a fiorire le rose, released in 1975.
