    • Goofs
      Joseph of Cupertino died on 18 September 1663, which means that the plot of this movie takes place in September of 1663. The fashions, however, are from the beginning of the 17th century; the ruff, for example, was no longer in fashion by 1663.
    • Quotes

      Queen Mother: When will you stop it, my son? When will you stop risking your life for the sake of a horse? Fight battles that would be of some use to the family. Instead of taming wild horses, get married and tame a wife.

    Wonderful fantasy w/2 beautiful people!
    This fantasy is complete with a gorgeous prince, a beautiful woman, witches with cauldrons and paper moons hanging in the sky. The story is simple but very effectively showcases Omar Sharif and Sophia Loren. A lovely way to pass a couple of hours. Some scenes are so memorable I still recalled them several years after first seeing the film in 1967.

    A must for my collection. Definitely not heavy going; light, fun, and great for the whole family.
