The pleasure is mine, to bring the memory of this beautiful and underrated film is rewarding to me, hopefully more people will want to see it and it might someday be released as a video. We are of kindred souls, because I too am very moved by it every time I see it, the music, the great actors, the magic of its story, all make it a very special movie.
Its heartbreaking , that last shot as she had lost her baby in a miscarriage weeks earlier. you can see how vulnerable she is. This is her most beautiful role-in a canon of unparalleled beautiful screen appearances. This film and her beauty and acting capture a much more innocent time in the world and in cinema. YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR SOPHIA FILMS!! WOW!
I remember this movie from my childhood and never forgotten it. It has been apart of me through out my life time now I'm approaching senior hood. I've always been a romantic and optimistic in falling in love with that perfect strange by chance. One never knows unless you try.
I have a treasured memory of watching this film one afternoon with my elderly Mum (she died the following Spring) We agreed it was a most beautiful film, wonderfully acted by Sophia Loren and Omar Sharif. The music was amazing and the scenery breathtaking. I have never forgotten it and have hoped in vain that it would surely appear on TV again. I thought it must be lost forever but I've discovered it is available on DVD, although it is out of stock at the moment.
I watched this love tale with my dear wife just months before she passed away. It was enchanting, the beauty of Sophia, the contentment of my wife as she watched, and Piccioni's score. Watching it now brings a flood of emotions and tears to match. What memories this brings back.
Thank you so much for this montage. I forgot how lovely that theme song is- the string instruments alone give the melody a magical, fairy-tale aura. I used to hear this song as a kid years ago, not knowing it belonged to this film, so this is a mental reunion of sorts for me.
I worked with Sophia Loren in a film titled "That Kind Of Woman" and in person she is the most beautiful woman, kind, sweet, down to earth. I love her dearly. She is at her most beautiful in this delightful film. I would like to get a copy on a DVD but for some reason they did not record it. Pity, it's a timeless film.
This is a beautiful movie including music. It has always been one of my favorites. I purchased a CD several years ago for it, C'era una volta, which I think means, Once Upon A Time. The thing I find strange is that I have found that it doesn't always get listed in book and online. I saw it on TV many years ago. I think the movies should run it more often than it does. Wonderful movie a 10 category.
Thank you, thank you so much for this. This has really been an undescriptible experience for me to hear, see, feel and live the moments gone so many years ago. I have played this tube at least 15 times the last two days. Mi wife and kids just watch me watching it. They understand that it is so special for me when they see the my tears. I just love this film. Thank you, thank you very much for this gift of time.
it is an ageless movie... to dream. This was a movie to find at a Sunday afternoon on Argentinean television... I bought the Italian version last week and I watched on a Sunday afternoon like in my childhood... a dear moment, the same feelings :)
Few people remember it from its time, it kind of came and went unnoticed back in 1967. By then, Romantic fantasies were a thing of the past. But now in a time vacuum we can appreciate it for all its wonderful qualities, so do see it. TCM runs it at least once a year. I am hoping it gets released on DVD.
I just happened to find this through wikipedia. My mom saw this when she was a little girl, and its the reason she named me after her. Now I want to find this and watch it!! :)
Ron, thank you for posting this, she was wonderful in that film, and I have seen the film about 4 times, I even own an "unofficial" DVD copy. If you search high and low on the internet, you may find the source.
So True. I would have loved to have seen the U.S.premiere of this film at Radio City Music Hall in New York back in Nov. 1st, 1967. Only 41 years have passed...;o) Thanks for posting.
wonderful movie. I understand it has not come out on DVD . I watched and recorded it from TCM but I really would love to have it on DVD. Great great movie. Sort of like a cinderella story...
Thanks! I've heard the instrumental one, I have a CD of it. The one with the chorus that I feature here is from the original U.S. soundtrack, captured from vinyl. I don't believe it is available on CD. I am amazed that it has not made it to DVD. I am hoping they come out with a Sophia box set and by chance it would be included...One can only wish at this point.
Muchas gracias por tu comentario. "Tema de Rodrigo" interpretada por la orquesta de Piero Piccioni, "More Than A Miracle" interpretada por la orquesta y coro de Roger Williams
@cupcake101 Yes, the movie was shot simultaneously in English and Italian, so two movies were actually made at the same time, one in English and one in Italian, I am sure there are subtle differences between the two versions.
I love what you have written, I too knew of her miscarriage and I have to say her expression and tears as she runs from the palace, and the as you mentioned the ones at the end of the film came from somewhere deep within. Thanks!!
@CLARISSAVICTORIAN It is Sophia's great art that makes this story so rich with feeling, as when the first plates begin to mysteriously break, she wholeheartedly conveys her bewilderment and heartbreak, and the plates become mere symbols of her heartbreak.
@7Imnutubem it is youtube in Italian. I don't know why I cannot copy the link, but then, just type in the search: C'era una volta (More Than A Miracle)

@gaenberlin What a lovely post! I discovered it on a late night showing and found it stunning and beautiful. I too recently bought the Italian version, "C'era Una Volta", and enjoyed it, since I know Spanish, I was able to understand what they were saying at times, and visually the film is exquisite.
gosh i remember watching this together with my dad....and how he cursed that other cheating princess in the dishwashing-competition**grins** wonderful memories and a wonderful movie...i wish they would show it again on tv, way better than all the crap airing these days.

Yes,a much gentler and simpler era. Thank you!

One of my absolute faves growing up! RIP Mr Sharif. Thank you for so many wonderful films.
Thanks for posting it. A wonderful timeless movie with Sophia Loren in the peak of her stunning beauty.
This was an exquisite movie. Beautifully done with great music.

YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR SOPHIA FILMS!!
WOW!
THANK YOU! This movie , along with breath of scandal is one of Sophia's most sumptuous! THANK YOU!

Como decimos en cubano....TE LA COMISTE! What a wonderful collage of pics....Congrats!

It is wonderful to finally hear that music again. Thank you so much for posting. Besides, your video also brings back wonderful memories of the movie.
Glad you were able to match this beautiful music to the visuals through my little video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting and for your kind comment. It is truly a lovely and underrated film

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Glad you found it, and happy to hear from another fan of this movie. Turner Classic Movies, TCM, shows it at least once a year. Thanks!
You can find private copies on the internet if you search high and low. It is a hugely underrated film, magical in so many ways... Thanks.
Glad it brought the movie memories back for you. Thanks so much for posting.:o)
Thanks, Wayne. Always good to hear from you.
Thanks so much for posting here, I greatly appreciate posts like yours.
Me too. It is always so nice to return to it. Thank you.
I've read many of her biographies, but did not know she had an autobiography...I'll have to look for it. Thank you for visiting my video.

My father was in love with Sophia and as a kid I watched all her movies and for real Sophia is one beautiful woman
Thank you! This music is beautiful..
Un millon de gracias! :o)

Excellent montage! I sure wish this film would be released on DVD ASAP. Have you heard Roger Williams' version heard on his Kapp LP?
Couldn't have said it better. Thanks.
Thanks! I've heard the instrumental one, I have a CD of it. The one with the chorus that I feature here is from the original U.S. soundtrack, captured from vinyl.

Wow! I am honored by your comment. Thank you!!!:o)
Recuerdo esta pelicula muy bella.
@PCplays99 So true, sad that it has been forgotten, and so sad that no one has done a legit dvd of it.
