Overview

the movie's intended runtime was 100 minutes but there was bad business with the Italian producer. Cinecitta kidnapped some film rolls until the French paid their share of this Latvia/France/Italy co-production but the French producer went bankrupt in the meantime...So Guy Gilles was forced to make a 70 minutes edit with the rolls he had and allegedly he also rushed off the French dubbing. So the 93 minutes version include some missing footages and the original audio but it was not edited by the director who died in 1996 and never got access to the missing rolls.
