I love this movie , the first time I saw it I was a little girl , watch it with my mom, and grandmom,it was so beautiful to me the scenery and everything about it ! So everynow and then I would catch it on the turner movie classic station but always toward the end of the movie . So if I can find this movie on dvd , perhaps blue ray I would love to have . This is my favorite movie of all time . love it.
@lovebyte711 I've read that the movie was shot simultaneously in English and Italian, I have seen both the Italian and the English version and there are small differences, the Italian one has some extra scenes, and the English one has the "More Than A Miracle" vocal chorus at the end, the Italian one does not. I wish someone would release both versions on Blue Ray or DVD, such a beautifully photographed film deserves it. I don't know where you can find it at this time. Keep "Googling"!
@lovebyte711 TCM owns it, and they play it every now and then. I found a copy on the internet in English, it is a DVD of a TV broadcast, fairly good quality. I also bought an Italian release "C'era Una Volta", but you have to have a multi region DVD player to view it and it is in Italian without subtitles. I can't wait for the day when a legit English version becomes available.
DASHTYME, DONT GIVE UP, IT MAY COME BACK ON, TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES, I WAS LUCKY, WAS ABLE TO RECORD THE MOVIE AND FOUND THE SOUNDTRACK ON VINYL, ON THE INTERNET, IT IS MY FAVORITE OF ALL SOPHIA'S MOVIES.
@Dashtyme It is still not on official DVD in the US, Germany and Italy have released it on DVD. In the states, you can sometime find "home made ones". You can find the entire film here on Youtube, but in Italian, divided up in multiple parts, search "C'era Una Volta" and they will pop up.
I have wanted this DVD for so long. I grabbed a VHS off TV but it would be so wonderful to have a DVD copy with extras! I've watched for it for years and this is the first I have seen site about it. I suppose a facebook campaign wouldn't work, but have you thought about doing that? I don't have the info to do it, but maybe you do?
Ah, boopkid you've done it again..! I adore the soundtrack and continue to wait impatiently for this sumptuous film's release to DVD (with extras, please!) And Sophia? She is absolutely at the HEIGHT of her incredible exotic beauty. (And Sharif is looking mighty fine as well, btw) Brava, Sophia!
@TheCatgirl6 I would settle for a digital restoration, but as you say, comments and interview with Sophia would be soooo magical, and Sharif too...So much junk gets put on DVD, you'd think someone would put this gem out. Thanks for your comments.
@boopkid I have been waiting for this as a DVD for many years and had given up. This is the first site I've come across. I have a VHS taken from the TV but a DVD with extras would be fantastic. Have you ever considered a Facebook campaign? I don't have the info for that but maybe this is something you might be interested in?
che bellissimo film!ho avuto la fortuna di rivederlo ieri 24 dicembre ...era in onda alle 14.10 su rai 1... ha risvegliato in me quella passione per le fiabe romantiche che spesso crediamo perdute per sempre nella notte dei tempi....
e bellissimo io adoro questo film... e adoro la prima colonna sonora del video...d'altronde lo sanno tutti che i film italiani sono i migliori come tutto il resto dell'italia
I'm from Malta. Watched the film on Italian Rai Uno twice during Summer (Sunday afternoon). Haven't seen Sofia so beautiful. And what about her acting. Simply unique. And you can also admire Omar's skills in handling a horse. Cheers.
You've said it well, Sophia's performance in this movie is so amazing, light, but deep, her emotions always coming from somewhere deep within. Yet , she has fun with all of it and the movie is so underrated by the World, they need to discover its magic. No one has ever looked more beautiful on screen then Sophia in this movie, luminous, sensual, elegant, earthy, there's just not enough adjectives.
Would you please post the whole movie. Its one of my favorit movies of all time. :) I watched it at least 20 times but I don't have the copy anymore. Thanks.
Thanks! It's great to hear others appreciate the video. Make sure you check out the other "More Than A Miracle" video I made, which is this one plus the original USA trailer for the movie.
foi uma surpresa quando finalmente vi esta montagem, este é o meu filme favorito, vi quandi era pequena e nunca me esqueci!!!! Gostaria de saber se é possivel encontra-lo em dvd .
Un cuento de hadas, mágico, con la princesa más hermosa de toda la historia del cine. Gracias Francesco Rossi por mostrarnos a la Sophia más encantadora!! Viva Sophia, la piú bella del mondo!!
vi por primera vez este año esta pelicula y me fascino pienso que es una pelicula para gente sensible que la sepa apreciar ,se transformo en mi pelucula favorita
amo questo film..cmq vorrei sapere se qualcuno sa come si chiama la musica che c'è all'inizio del video clip (NON mi riferisco a more than a miracle di piero puccini che è cantata in lingua inglese).Vi prego siate cosi gentili da segnalarmelo...un bacio grazie 1000
Excellent montage. This is the movie that introduced me to the beautiful Sophia Loren and what got me hooked was the dish washing contest scene. Yes, this NEEDS to be released on DVD!
I hope someone out there is listening! A DVD is way OVERDUE. Thank you for the compliment! Not only is she beautiful, she plays the role with so much HEART, the scene when she is cheated from winning the contest and runs out to the sea crying truly exemplifies her great acting talent.
I just love all things "Sophia"! I do remember seeing a small part of this movie late night years ago and recall the scenes of the dishes being scratched by the jealous woman's diamond ring to make them break easier! Also that cruel slap across the face Sophia got when she "lost"! How dare he??!!
:-) Seems to me there also kept being these strange angels that would keep flying down from the sky too, eh? I'll have to watch this again! Thanks for sharing!
It's an eclectic fantasy with a flying monk, Saints, and witches. Isabella (Sophia) was tricked/framed by the greedy princess who wanted to marry the prince, Rodrigo (Omar Sharif). The flying monk and Saints encourage Isabella to seek out the truth that will finally win out, and so it does. It's really worth seeing given the beautiful photography, music and Sophia's touching performance. The movie is not out on DVD yet, except for bootlegs; Turner Classics airs it once a year. Thanks.
