The working title of the film was “Sky-Blue and Green” (Celeste e verde) – in the film, the heroine played by Monica Vitti wants to paint her shop in these colors, because “they are cool colors that shouldn’t irritate.”
During filming, actor Richard Harris experimented with LSD, which complicated the shooting process – once he was caught by the Roman police climbing the famous Trevi Fountain, after which he was taken to a hotel where, under the influence of the drug, he broke several windows with his fists.
Shortly before the end of filming, Richard Harris flew out of Italy without warning. An actor of similar build was urgently found to be filmed from the back and from a distance. During post-production, all of Harris’s lines were dubbed by an Italian actor.
