Background and style
Film critic and historian Roberto Curti identifies Detective Belli and Days of Fire as examples of Italian crime films influenced by the themes of film noir. In a similar manner to his earlier giallo film The Sweet Body of Deborah, Guerrieri's film also employs tropes of the "sexy thriller" subgenre.
