behind the scenes photos


I wanted to upload these to imdb.com, but found out that I can't. Therefore I share the links to these behind-the-scenes photos from the filming of "C'era Una Volta" (retitlted "More Than a Miracle" in English). Enjoy!

The first is of Sophia Loren pouring water on her bare feet in a break from shooting her first scene in the film:

Second is an image of director Francesco Rosi advising Omar Sharif and Sophia Loren on handling a scene which takes place at their first meeting. Notice that Sharif's shirt is not yet tattered (as it was in the filmed version of this scene):

Third is a shot where the torn shirt is in evidence while the stars paused in filming:

Here is an image of Sophia Loren on the location of her character Isabella's village:

Next is a photograph taken whilst Sophia and the other actors are getting ready for a scene in which the Spanish prince's troops will suddently descend upon her impoverished village:

And here are the aforementioned troops swooping upon said village (see film crew in foreground of this candid photo):

Here is a posed shot of the two leads:

What makes these images special to me is that they are not stills from the film---they were shot during or in between takes, often with film crew in plain view. If you have more like these, share them on this thread!

The movie theme is one of my favorites from cinema.

RIP Omar.
