In this movie, Zavattini finally took the director's place, solving his dilemma of being always stuck on the role of a cinema writer. He always felt that the writer was the most important person on the movie-making, and was always neglected his deserved credit and money, which is very likely to be true... In this movie he finally takes a step and directs himself, writing and acting as the main character. The movie is very autobiographical, and may be considered a very decent last work, summing up Zavattini's beliefs.
