Lara Wendel

[Francesco Barilli on Lara Wendel]: Oh, to find the right girl was a nightmare! Dear me, I may have screened hundreds and hundreds of little girls! I visited all the German schools in Rome because, you see, I wanted a girl who would not look Italian at all. Daniela Barnes had done a film with Di Leo, I think. Anyway, then she ended up doing soft-core flicks like Maladolescenza. For the little girl appearances I borrowed a lot from a Truman Capote story called Miriam [Note: In 1980 Miriam became a TV movie directed by Biagio Proietti].
