sentences:  Antonio Bonifacio, who is credited as the film's assistant director, remembered it differently, stating that D'Amato, after making Bonifacio himself the offer to direct (which he declined), then made Lattanzi, who had no idea how to direct a film, the offer to simply be credited and to be on set in case a journalist or anyone else dropped by, but that D'Amato would direct the film himself, which Lattanzi accepted.Bonifacio further stated that from the beginning, Lattanzi was simply there on set and watched while Massaccesi was directing, and that it therefore was not true that Massaccesi took over from Lattanzi at some later point.Similarly, scenarist Rossella Drudi remembered that it had been directed by D'Amato and not Lattanzi.
