More than a Miracle (DVD)

What does a beautiful peasant woman have to do to land a prince? Consort with witches, cast a spell, roll away to sea trapped inside a barrel, confer with a flying monk and compete in a manic dishwashing contest. Sophia Loren and Omar Sharif play peasant and prince in the sumptuous fantasy More Than a Miracle. Dolores Del Rio, still breathtaking 42 years after her film debut, adds even more star power. The story begins when the prince prefers riding his stallion to choosing among the seven princesses his steely mother (Del Rio) presents as his prospective bride. So off he gallops into eye-popping magical adventure that's part fairy tale, part action adventure, and part bawdy romp. More Than a Miracle "has the sheer sunniness of the open countryside, the voluptuous sensuality of Sophia Loren and manages to sparkle whenever it gets the chance to let its magic loose" (Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review).
