The film is part of the sentimental melodramas, commonly called tearjerking (of which Matarazzo was the greatest exponent), then in vogue among the Italian public, then renamed by critics with the term neorealism of appendix

It was the first film in Cinemascope and in color made by Matarazzo, it was at the time presented as a popular remake of the neorealist masterpiece Riso amaro by Giuseppe De Santis of 1949.

It was shot for exteriors in the Casalino countryside, in the province of Novara.

It is the first film shot in Italy by Elsa Martinelli on her return from Hollywood where she made her debut alongside Kirk Douglas in the western film The Indian Hunter by André De Toth.
