    • Trivia
      A light comedy filmed on location in Rome, Ghosts, Italian Style (1967) was re-titled Ghosts - Italian Style for the American market, an attempt to cash in on a previous Sophia Loren success, Marriage Italian Style (1964), for which the actress received a Best Actress Oscar® nomination. But the film, produced by Sophia's husband producer Carlo Ponti, quickly faded from view and, in all fairness, hadn't fared well in Italy either. It was just the beginning of a long and undistinguished phase for Loren marked by such lackluster films as Sunflower (1970), The Priest's Wife (1970), Lady Liberty (1971) and the box office disaster, Man of La Mancha (1972), based on the smash Broadway musical.

    • Alternate versions
      This film was made in two languages, Italian and English. In the English version, onscreen signs and writing are in English instead of Italian, and the main cast speak their lines in English.
