Background
Jack Lemmon was so impressed with the film after he saw it at the Venice Film Festival in 1960, that he bought the American rights through his film production company, Jalem Productions, in January 1962. Lemmon recorded a new English narration and Jalem Productions acted as presenter (with Lopert Pictures distributing) for its American release in June 1962.
