It is based on the novel The Day of the Owl by Leonardo Sciascia. Audio in Italian with English subtitles.

The script was developed by director Damiano Damiani and Ugo Pirro. Pirro had previously adapted To Each His Own for Petri's film. Damiani and Pirro created a radically different story from novel. But they retained the books famous line where the character of Don Mariano splits humanity into five category: "men, half-men, pigmies, arse-crawlers, and quackers."
