In 2008, the film was selected to enter the list of the 100 Italian films to be saved (100 film italiani da salvare). The list was created with the aim to report "100 films that have changed the collective memory of the country between 1942 and 1978". The project was established by the Venice Days ("Giornate degli Autori") in the Venice Film Festival, in collaboration with Cinecittà Holding and with the support of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage.

What are the differences between the German Version and the Italian Version?

At least two different official cut versions exist, both of which offer some exclusive footage. As is the case quite often, German viewers were rather unlucky in this aspect considering that the Italian Version is about 17 minutes longer. However, the new German DVD release from June 2013 contains both version and allows for a nice comparison. The sparsely available information about the alternative versions mostly states that the German Version lacks some more complex plot scenes and contains some cuts in order to streamline the movie. Quite often, the completely different intro is used as an example for alternative footage and censorship in Italy, marking the German Version as more sexual, which is not really the case. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
