Since the three lenses of the Cinerama camera sat at angles to each other on the camera itself, it was very problematic for actors to film a scene, as they would in front of a single-lensed camera. When their images were projected onto the three panels of the Cinerama screen, it would appear as though they were looking either slightly up-screen or slightly down-screen, and not directly at their fellow actors. This is very evident in a few scenes in the previous Cinerama film, Il meraviglioso mondo dei fratelli Grimm (1962). However, by the time this film went into production, this problem was solved somewhat. In order to compensate for the lens angles, actors would have to look one-third of the way in and toward the camera and pretend that they were looking at their fellow actors. Hence, when their images were projected onto the Cinerama screen, it would appear as though they were looking at each other. It was a very difficult process for actors, which is one of the reasons three-panel Cinerama was abandoned for narrative films after this film was released. This becomes very obvious in the recent DVD presentation, where the three images have been digitally combined. The actors are now shown acting together without making eye contact.
