Production and release
Filming started on April 18, 1960 with Juan Mariné as director of photography; Mariné interrupted and abandoned his work with Jésus Franco to join the crew.[4]
The film encountered problems with censorship that were addressed by various amendments to the plot (including the character of a nun who was judged exceedingly silly) and it was released on November, 14 1960.[5]
