    • Trivia
      When Sharon Tate arrived in Rome for filming near the end of March 1969, she was about three months pregnant and beginning to show. Because the script called for several semi-nude scenes, the director arranged to film those scenes first. As filming (and her pregnancy) progressed, the director obscured Tate's stomach with large purses and scarves. This is most apparent in the scene following her ride in the furniture mover's van.
    • Alternate versions
      Both versions of the film ("12 + 1" and "The 13 Chairs") have completely different opening and ending title sequences, in terms of fonts and placements. For example, in the opening on the former, the "12 + 1" logo appears one by one in the shot of Mario crossing the street, while in the other version, the logo appears 16 seconds into the film. The ending on the "12 + 1" version has the words "THE END" placed right before the end credits, and right after the freeze-frame, as opposed to the other version, that has "THE END" appear right after the end credits. In addition, both beginning and ending titles for the "12 + 1" version have names and companies that were not credited on the other version, and vice-versa. Both versions even feature different shots of the hair salon in the opening.

    Overall, a waste of time!
    The scene in the theater where Orson Welles plays Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is funny. Sharon Tate is sweet, but not as great as in "The Wrecking Crew." Mylène Demongeot is also funny in a very small role as a prostitute. There is another scene, very short, with Sharon Tate, Ottavia Piccolo and Vittorio Gassman, in bed, which would have been worth developing. Some great actors such as Orson Welles, Vittorio Gassman, Vittorio Di Sica, the English comedian Terry-Thomas, wasted in a sub-mediocre production.
