Censorship

When Morte di Un Amico was first released in Italy in 1959, the Italian Committee for the Theatrical Review of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities rated the film not suitable for viewing because it included several immoral scenes which the committee considered to be offensive to public decency. On a second review by the committee, the film was rated not suitable for children under 16 on the proviso that the scene in which Alde and Lea hug each other in bed is removed. The official document number is: 30584. It was signed on 30 November 1959 by Minister Domenico Magrì.
