Production

[edit]

According to the wife of director Piero Regnoli, Silvia Innocenzi, the original idea for La principessa sul pisello came from the director's friend Alfredo Rizzo.[2] Rizzo's idea was reportedly to follow up the success of adult oriented fairytale comics, similar to American productions such as The Erotic Adventures of Pinocchio (1971).[2] La principessa sul pisello was shot in 1973.[3]

Release

[edit]

La principessa sul pisello was submitted to the Italian Board of Censors in April 1974 and was eventually released in August 1976 with minimal distribution.[3]

Reception

[edit]

In a contemporary review, Roberto Curti wrote in his book about Italian films influenced by comics that La principessa sul pisello that despite having a good premise, the Regnoli "does little to develop it".[2] Curti critiqued the humor in the film saying that sight gags ranged from "silly to awful" and that the direction was flat.[2]
