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.

The car falling down the rocks in the final scene was not a Lancia Aurelia, but a Siata 1500, with a dummy, hand-made, registration plate.

Among the audience watching the table-tennis game on the beach a very young Vittorio Cecchi Gori (son of Mario Cecchi Gori, producer of this film) can be seen. He eventually became a film producer himself.

You can see part of the rig on Bruno's car when they talk about Antonioni, when Bruno makes fun of the Italian family on the motorcycle, and when he teases the cyclist.

When Roberto walks over the rocks, we see a beautiful blonde in a bikini lying there, reading a magazine, later, the same blonde will come and ask Roberto to sign her cast "next to Peppino DiCapri's signature". Later she'll be dancing with her totally signed cast.
