==Production==<br />
The film was filmed in [[Licata]] and [[Agrigento]]. It was completely shot in English, with great difficulty for the lead actor Nino Manfredi due to his lacking of English language skills.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aldo Bernardini|title=Nino Manfredi|year=1999|publisher=Gremese|isbn=88-7742-369-2|page=116}}</ref> The English-language version took its title from the American [[anacronym]]<br />
during the war used for situational conditions before any sanctioned mission by the military: [[Military slang|SNAFU]], meaning Situation Normal, All Fouled Up.<br />
