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!
