Lafayette and Geraldine name the baby monkey "Cornelius," a reference to the simian character in Il pianeta delle scimmie (1968).
The literal translation of the film's Italian title is "The End of Macho" which is more in keeping with the film's theme of the breaking down of sexual stereotypes.
Notable for featuring a sex scene between Gérard Depardieu (28 at the time of filming) and Geraldine Fitzgerald (who was 64).
