Submitted to the British Board of Film Censors (as Woman of Rome) by Exclusive Films and passed with an "X" certificate on 5 March 1957. First shown in London at the Hammer preview theatre on 21 March 1957 (for press and trade only). For the general release on 20 May 1957 the film, surprisingly enough, shared the bill with The Curse of Frankenstein (1957). Exclusive also had an English subtitled print which the BBFC passed on 27 February 1957, also with an "X." This version opened in London (as La Romana) on 8 September 1957 at the Berkeley, Tottenham Court Road and ran for three weeks. The co-feature this time was the far more appropriate Bitter Rice (1949).
Gina Lollobrigida is dubbed in Italian by Lydia Simoneschi in only one scene. Her own voice can be heard throughout the rest of the picture.
