Anecdotes
Lucio Fulci's intended title for the film was "Perversion Story". While the film was released under that title in France, producer Edmondo Amati elected to use the title for the Italian release of a Spanish film he co-produced, Les chaudes amours d'une mineure (1969), and retitle this film "Una sull'altra" (which had previously been used in press notices prior to the start of shooting), the translation of which, "One on Top of the Other", was used for its theatrical and VHS release in English-speaking countries. The "Perversion Story" title was later used for its DVD and Blu-ray releases.

Gaffes
San Luis Obispo is due south of San Francisco, but to get there from San Francisco George is seen driving over and past landmarks taking him east of his destination such as the San Mateo Bridge or north of his starting point such as the Golden Gate Bridge.

Citations
Monica Weston: [to George after having sex] You're quite, lover. You don't even say a word... well, I suppose it's better than the ones who talk all the time.

Générique farfelu
Marisa Mell and John Ireland, who are second- and fifth-billed on Italian prints, are top- and fourth-billed on English prints.

Autres versions
The Severin DVD uses a French version of the film and runs about 97 minutes. The UK videotape version is about 11 minutes longer, at 108 minutes.

Great tense 1960s thriller/giallo

Unlike most of the early 1970s gialli this film has several classic elements of late 60s films, from the go go dancing to the sultry, almost cheezy, jazzy orchestra soundtrack, to the melodramatic, emotion-laden lovemaking scenes. It's more erotic than most gialli, and clearly straddles the boundary between Mario Bava's visual style --emphasizing shadows and contrast, and typical early 70s gialli. What really makes the film so great its ability to hold a level of tension -- visible in various characters' expressions and actions, especially the main character -- and suspense to make it a truly great thriller. And to do so relatively bloodlessly. The dialogue while dubbed is also quite clever and there are many scenes that are smart in their own right -- such as when Monica and George are hanging out in her San Fran 'pad' while he is confused and she is playing solitaire and telling him to answer the door. Definitely worth watching, for any fan of Italian thriller/gialli!
