Although credited in the cast, the actor Giovanni Grasso does not appear in the film. The scenes he appeared in were most probably cut from the final release print.
The film was re-issued in 1955 as "Bengasi Anno "41" and include extra scenes with Vivi Gioi, Laura Redi and Fedele Gentile. A new character was also added to the film: Charles Wilson, the English officer, played by Peter Trent.
Bengasi was the only 1940s Italian film in which the two main male stars of the moment, Amedeo Nazzari and Fosco Giachetti, appeared together.
