This was made in Joe D'Amato's medium-budget sortporn period. The story about the relationship between a widower and his stepdaughter seems to be original but many elements of this film have clearly been borrowed from Brass' The Key and there are also signs that D'Amato must have seen Once Upon a Time in America. It is one of the rare cases where D'Amato really put some effort into trying to make a good film (mostly he's a very lackluster director). As a result, Il Piacere is one of his best films, despite a rather anemic lead actress (Miss Guzon) and an infuriatingly annoying musical score that must have been written by someone with just a couple of hours of piano lessons.
