Alfredo Bini, who had had experience with his
Bora Bora (1968) film, bought the rights to the film from the producers who were frustrated with the box office of Bali, wrote additional scenes for
Umberto Orsini and a new character featuring
Ilona Staller in Rome, with new director (
Paolo Heusch) and cinematographer (
Roberto D'Ettorre Piazzoli), and re-edited the film entirely, with several scenes cut to keep the running time circa the 90 minute mark. The film was re-released as Incontro d'amore, only, though some posters show this title superimposed to the earlier Bali title.
