      • In the Italian version, during the museum sequence, Raoul explains his plan to Jose, in front of the "Maja Desnuda" (The Nude Maja) and the "Maja Vestida" (The Clothed Maja). In the Spanish version, Raoul explains the whole plan in front of the "Maja Vestida", due to censorship.
      • The scene of Raoul discussing with Scorceletti about painting the "The Nightshirt Maja", was shot in a different angle and some jokes were cut to reduce the scene.
