It's so strange to see a restrained Renato Polselli. But soon enough, he'd have literal insanity on the screen and we'd all be there for every moment. Until then, there's this dramatic film in which a woman has her husband's estate taken, him thrown out of their house and gets custody of their two children. The man flees to Italy with the children and fights for his rights, which is ahead of its time for 1964.

It was written by its star, Vincenzo Cascino, who also made 7 Golden Women Against Two 07, Le sette cinesi d'oro and produced Polselli's The Sheriff Won't Shoot. Polselli would often find himself working with actors who either wrote or produced their own films.

Cascino plays Lorenzo, an Argentinian industrialist married - and not happily - to Erika (Lisa Gastoni). Working with her lawyer Emilio Bernasconi (Umberto D'Orsi), she gets him in a sleazy takedown with another woman, seizes the estate and takes their children. For some reason, Lorenzo starts hearing voices in his head and, this being a Polselli movie, much of the film is given to jazz music parties with women dancing, including Solvi Stubing (Strip Nude for Your Killer), Annie Gorassini (Danger: Diabolik) and Gloria Paul (3 Supermen a Tokyo).
