    • Trivia
      The kid Gennarino is played by Pierino Bilancioni (wrongly listed ad Pierino Bilancione), at his only movie appearance. As an adult Bilancioni became a well-known and appreciated ice cream maker and owned a successful cafe in Posillipo (Naples). He received many awards for his activity, in particular for his hazelnut cream.
    • Quotes
      • Don Saverio Petrillo (segment "Il guappo"): "My condolences, Don Carmine, my condolences. Come have dinner at our place." That's what you told him. "Tonight you shouldn't be alone. Honor us." And it's been 10 years he's honoring us, this scum bag.
    • Alternate versions
      The segment on the funeral of a dead child was deleted from all release versions, and the short segment on the Professor only appeared in the original Italian version. For the remaining four episodes, the time was 107 minutes.
