Clara Calamai performs a topless scene for a total of 18 frames.
Clara Calamai said, "The business of the naked breasts was not in the script. Blasetti put it in, but he had to work hard to convince me. I was forced to give in. At that time actors had no protection; there were no unions to look after their interests. He decided that my breasts had to be seen so my breasts were seen. To overcome my resistance he made a promise: 'Clara,' he said, ' I'll clear everyone off the set: there will just be me, the cameraman and Nazzari.' So we shot the scene, I don't remember if we did one or two takes. The next day I found out that a whole load of people had been watching, perched on the barriers behind the lights. I was blinded by the lights and couldn't see anything."
