 The shooting of the film between July 1948 and January 1949 was long and arduous, during which the director of photography Francis Boeniger had to retire to fulfill other commitments and was replaced by Humberto Peruzzi, a collaborator who had been present from the founding of the production company.According to the critic César Maranghello, Lucas Demare, who was one of the partners of Artistas Argentinos Asociados, actively participated in the direction of the film.In 1982 the "Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes" described the film as "very picturesque and emotional, showing the social diseases of childhood".
