The movie had three different working titles: I deputati, I quattro onorevoli, Vinca il migliore.
The parties featured in the movie are: PLI (Italian Liberal Party), PCI (Italian Communist Party), DC (Christian Democracy), MSI (Italian Social Movement), PNR (National Restoration Party, the only one imaginary).
The movie was promoted with two different trailers, one for Northern Italy and one for Southern Italy.
The village of Roccasecca, where Antonio La Trippa ( Totò ) was born, is in real life Fiano Romano, near Rome. The imaginary village of Roccasecca was already present in other two movies of Totò: Il medico dei pazzi (1954) where Felice Sciosciammocca ( Totò ) was mayor and Toto Double or Nothing (1956), where the lineage of duke Gagliardo della Forcoletta ( Totò ) is stated to come from. Anyway, in region Latiun there are for real two villages with the name Roccasecca.
