La principessa sul pisello is a 1976 Italian film directed by Piero Regnoli.

[2] Rizzo's idea was reportedly to follow up the success of adult oriented fairytale comics, similar to American productions such as The Erotic Adventures of Pinocchio (1971).

[3] La principessa sul pisello was submitted to the Italian Board of Censors in April 1974 and was eventually released in August 1976 with minimal distribution.

[3] In a contemporary review, Roberto Curti wrote in his book about Italian films influenced by comics that La principessa sul pisello that despite having a good premise, the Regnoli "does little to develop it".

[2] Curti critiqued the humor in the film saying that sight gags ranged from "silly to awful" and that the direction was flat.
