There are few scenes more moving or more powerful than the scene where Sophia meets her husband in Russia.
The scene is at a train station: he's on the arriving train and she's waiting on the platform. A huge number of people get off the train and she's looking at everyone through the chaos of moving bodies. She doesn't really expect to find him, but hope is still alive.
She sees him through the throng, he sees her.
The wordless communication between them as she gets on the train to leave and he stays on the platform watching her go is nothing less than thrilling. It's a great cinematic moment - a great moment of acting for Loren.
It is, perhaps, the single scene for which I shall always remember her.
