Note that this movie played in New York City in 1939, but without subtitles, so only Italian speaking audiences could understand it. It was surely one of the very last Italian movies to play in the U.S. prior to World War II! Also note that director Mario Camerini started directing silent movies in 1923, and he continued directing in Italy, without an interruption for World War II, and he resumed directing after the war without a break, and directed his last movies in the early 1970s.
