It was completely shot in English, with great difficulty for the lead actor Nino Manfredi due to his lacking of English language skills.[2] The English-language version took its title from the American anacronym during the war used for situational conditions before any sanctioned mission by the military: SNAFU, meaning Situation Normal, All Fucked Up.
