In a note to the audience, the director has confided that for this movie, “references for The Crime is Mine go back to the golden age of American comedy: Lubitsch, Leo Mac Carey, Billy Wilder and Screwball Comedy, which is characterized by vaudeville, comical and incongruous situations, where the protagonists invent clever ways to get out of dramatic situations. “
