The production of different cuts for international markets was a common practice in 1970s Italian filmmaking. Producers frequently filmed alternative scenes to ensure the film could be distributed under different ratings across various territories. This modular approach meant that the film functioned as a flexible commercial product, shifting between an adult drama and a more explicit exploitation film depending on local regulations. This distribution strategy reflects the transition of the film industry during the "porno-chic" era, as mainstream cinema and the adult film industry briefly converged.
