The scene where Lorenzo Bottoni (Aldo Fabrizi) chases Ferdinando Esposito (Totò) is probably the best known of the whole movie, but was also one of the most difficult to film because the two actors didn't run willingly. Director Mario Monicelli stated in an interview that most of the merit of the scene's success belongs to director of photography Mario Bava, who became then a successful director of horror movies. The scene was spoofed in A spasso nel tempo - L'avventura continua (1997), with Massimo Boldi in the role of the criminal and Christian De Sica in the role of the cop, dressed up to resemble his father Vittorio De Sica in Pane, amore e fantasia (1953).
