Production
According to director the wife of director Piero Regnoli, Silvia Innocenzi, the original idea for La principessa sul pisello came from the director's friend Alfredo Rizzo. Rizzo's idea was reportedly to follow up the success of adult oriented fairytale comics, similar to American productions such as The Erotic Adventures of Pinocchio (1971). La principessa sul pisello was shot in 1973.
Release
La principessa sul pisello was submitted to the Italian Board of Censors in April 1974 and was eventually released in August 1976 with minimal distribution.
Reception
In a contemporary review, Roberto Curti wrote in his book about Italian films influenced by comics that La principessa sul pisello that despite having a good premise, the Regnoli "does little to develop it". Curti critiqued the humor in the film saying that sight gags ranged from "silly to awful" and that the direction was flat.
