Well actually ALL Italian films are dubbed even when they're released in
Italian since they're shot MOS (without sound). Which shouldn't be that
big a deal since most Hollywood films have extensive post-production
looping (a fancy way of saying a lot of dubbing). Still, you might check
Quinn's autobiography to see what he says about making the film.
