United Artists bought the distribution rights for over a million dollars to keep this film off the market until after the release of Federico Fellini's Satyricon (1969). Ultimately, the movie has never been released in the U.S.
Director Gian Luigi Polidoro, producer Alfredo Bini, the distributor and four of the actors in the film were accused of obscenity, corruption of minors and violation of the laws protecting the work of minors. They were subsequently acquitted of the corruption charge but received suspended sentences, which were appealed, and fined for having produced an obscene film.
Gian Luigi Polidoro registered the title "Satyricon" for his movie first. Federico Fellini fought to use the title for his movie (Satyricon (1969)) but lost the case.
Italian censorship visa # 53435 delivered on 25 March 1969.
