This is is the first of Seijun Suzuki's films to be shot in black and white in the opening and then in color for the rest of the movie. He would do this again in Tôkyô nagaremono (1966).

The mixture of pop-art, jazz, and colorful pent-up suits as seen in this movie are what inspired the animation direction of Rupan sansei: Babiron no ôgon densetsu (1985).

This film is part of the Criterion Collection, spine #268.
