Trivia:
The film was made as part of a series of movies commissioned by the Italian TV station RaiDue and focusing on the fantastic in 19th century literature. The texts were selected by the Italian author Italo Calvino. Mario Bava and his son Lamberto then chose Merimée's story from this selection, since it seemed to them the one most suited to film adaptation.See more »

The big question of the story is wether or not a beautiful bronze discovered while uprooting trees is cursed, or worse, alive. As directed by Mario Bava, with the charming Daria Nicolodi, the movie becomes a study about love and what are you prepared to do for it. The camera turns around Daria and the Bronze like the soft touch of a lover. In that day of computer animated objects and incredible special effects, it is good to see a director who then relied on clever editing and camera movement and sound to make us believe.
