The film was a great success, De Sica and Lia Franca became stars and the song Parlami d'amore Mariù was a hit. Rare in Italian film history, it was filmed on real Milan locations, nowadays it is a sort of documentary on what Milan was like in the 1930s. It was produced by Cines, with film sets designed by the art director Gastone Medin. The film was remade in 1953 by Glauco Pellegrini.
