According to director Stelvio Massi, the film was inspired by the character of Philip Marlowe, who he tried to have Maurizio Merli imitate to make him "more human, less violent cop, somewhat different from those he had already successfully played."^[1] Merli stated that when the producer found out that Merli's character would only shoot his gun once in the film,he was told "Come on, he must be shooting like mad, or else nobody's going to watch this movie!"^[1]
