Director Mario Camerini feared that Vittorio de Sica was too thin for the part. In romantic scenes, the director had de Sica place wads of cotton in his cheeks so they wouldn't look so shallow. De Sica later recounted that when he was speaking his lines, tiny strands of white cotton would slip out of his mouth.
