Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Kirpianuscus amusing. nice. mixture of fairy tale, eroticism and humor. one of slices from a period of cinema who suggest more than present, who knows the right tools of seduction, who use the actors more for atmosphere . Sophia Loren in a wild role who gives new nuances to the old Cinderella. Omar Shariff as a not ordinary Prince Charming. and a lot of challenges. a film who is useful for its special flavor. because it is not a blockbuster, it is not surprising but has the perfect dose of charm for seduce and remind the sparkles of a world for who the film was more than entertainment. an easy film. comfortable. may best choice for nostalgics. but , first, a show who remands importance of small things who make the beauty of life.

insomnia As an admirer of the Italian neo-realist film director Francesco Rosi, I was delighted when a friend mentioned that he'd obtained a copy of Rosi's long forgotten film, "More Than A Miracle." Released in 1967, it only lasted for a couple of weeks (which explains why I missed seeing it back then), before quickly disappearing from sight. Now, forty-five years later, I finally sat down to watch it. I knew that "More Than A Miracle" was a fairy tale set in 17th. Century Spain. And that it starred Omar Sharif as Prince Ramon and Sophia Loren as the peasant girl, Isabella who the Prince falls in love with. I'm not a huge fan of fairy tales. However, as this was a Francesco Rosi film, I figured it would be a cut above films tackling similar subject matter. Prince Ramon has refused to choose a bride from the seven marriageable princesses whom his mother has selected as most deserving of becoming his wife. Out on his horse he comes across a monastery, and meets friar Brother Joseph who amuses the local children by leaping into the air and flying about the countryside. The friar presents the Prince with a donkey and a bag of flour and instructs him to search for a woman who will make him seven dumplings. Despite trying to remain 'engaged' with the film, I soon found myself checking how long still had to run. Seeing a peasant girl picking vegetables, he orders her to make seven dumplings from the bag of flour he gives her. Which she dutifully does, but overcome by hunger, she eats the seventh dumpling. To punish her for her disobedience, the Prince feigns death and then disappears. While I understood that it was after all just a fairy tale, my attention was beginning to wander. I must have dozed off, as I was woken up by a sharp poke in the ribs from my wife. On the TV, Isabella was being rescued from a wooden barrel by a group of street urchins. By then, Francesco Rosi or no Francesco Rosi, I'd had enough and went to bed. Next morning, my wife insisted on telling me how it all ended. Apparently, Isabella ended up marrying the Prince and they both lived happily ever after. Born in 1922, Francesco Rosi directed some of the finest neo-realist films to come out of Italy. Such classics as "Hands Over The City", Salvatore Guiliano", "Moment of Truth" and "The Mattei Affair" Those alone elevate him to the Pantheon of Italian film directors. To me, "More Than A Miracle" was just a "glitch" and in no way detracts from his reputation as a great film director.

vc1914 Creepy witches in the bush , evil scary Princesses , Flying Monks, Sofia Loren in a barrel, dish washing competitions and a cast of a thousand chickens. Whats not to like . This is such a way out bizarre take on the fairy princess story it really should be held aloft and worshiped. And for all you sickos Omar Sharif drinks a cup of urine.Strangely enough its a favorite of my whole family.In the early 80's this movie came on every school holidays and then it vanished . It was so strange I almost thought I'd dreamed it, until it resurfaced on TCM. I was quite surprised how well it held up . Like most films watched when your a child the ideas distort, but its just as I remember , the princesses are still as creepy as ever, and the girl still gets the guy . Pleases MGM release it on DVD ya gotta love it

Poseidon-3 The first several minutes of this film consist of a syrupy song performed by Roger Miller's orchestra and Singers while blurry 60's visual effects light the screen. Remaining viewers then spy Sharif, a Spanish prince, taming a wild white stallion as his mother screams at him that it's time to get married. When he thinks he's broken the horse, he takes off riding, but soon discovers that his job wasn't fully completed. He stumbles upon a flying monk (perhaps an ancestor of Sally Field?) who gives him a sack of flour, telling him that whichever woman bakes seven dumplings out of it that Sharif is unable to fully eat, will be the correct wife for him. When Sharif finds his horse, it has been commandeered by curvy peasant Loren, who is persuaded to bake him the dumplings. What follows is a lengthy game of give-and-take, hit-and-miss and misunderstanding as this couple attempts to discover if they are in fact meant to be together. Some of it, including a notably vivid dish-washing scene, is rather captivating. Some of it, like the endless segues into various locales and with various townsfolk, is pretty dull, sometimes even annoying, as with the ancient witch (and her coven) who aligns herself with Loren. One highly remarkable scene, however, is one in which thousands of eggs are simultaneously hatched, revealing an army of little yellow chicks. This impressive scene alone makes the film worth a glance. Others may check in to see Sharif at his peak and Loren close to hers. Unfortunately, the couple's love seems to come from a mandate in the script versus any organic chemistry between the two. It remains to be seen why Loren would have such a yen for a man who would soundly strike a woman hard across the face, but maybe times were different then. Del Rio makes one of her very last appearances as Sharif's mother and adds the touch of authoritative glamour needed for the part. Many other parts are ably acted, but intrusively dubbed into English. Witch Liotti's voice is actually painful to listen to. One of the chief assets is the roaming countryside and the use of rich and authentic looking locations. There are also some eye-popping costumes displayed by a bevy of eligible princesses who long to be chosen by Sharif. It's a fractured fairy tale that may appeal to fans of the stars, but otherwise comes off as disjointed and even a little humiliating.
