Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Enzo G. Castellari was so obsessed with authenticity that he nearly killed the crew filming in 50°C heat. The 'miracle baby' scene used a local Tunisian infant who wouldn't stop crying — they kept it.
This was RaiUno's desperate 1997 answer to American prestige miniseries — they threw Anthony Delon (Alain's son) at the problem and prayed. It barely aired outside Italy and Germany.
