Sexycop was based on the novel La Madama written by Massimo Felisatti and Fabio Pittorru. The term Madama itself, was a Rome-based slang for Italy's mobile police, similar to the English slang "the fuzz". The book was the third in a series of novels and was adapted to film by director Duccio Tessari who turned the film into more of a comedy oriented film. ==Release==

Sexycop was distributed theatrically in Italy by Titanus on 16 January 1976. It grossed a total of 173,627,420 Italian lire domestically. The film has also been released as ''La Madama l'agente Minchiello e il caso Patacchioni''. Italian film historian Roberto Curti described the Italian box office as "disappointing". ==Reception==

Curti stated that contemporary critics "ravaged the film". Corriere della Sera's Renato Palazzo found the film to be closer to "the childish comic-adventure series starring Bud Spencer and Terence Hill" noting that "this formula has been frayed for a long time." Orio Caldiron of La Rivista del cinematografo stated that although Tessari has never been a master filmmaker, wondered how far he could have lost his way with the film. == See also ==
