Director Tinto Brass asked the aspirants for the role of Miranda to strip completely naked in front of him during the audition. "I had to try a film scene, with the camera filming every part of my body," recalled Serena Grandi who was the chosen one.
According to Filippo Ascione, Miranda was one of Federico Fellini's favorite films.
Miranda is loosely based on the three-act comedy La locandiera by Carlo Goldoni.
