Lili Muráti was seriously injured while shooting the scene in which she runs beside the train and grabs Omar Sharif's hand to be hauled aboard. Sharif had been instructed to grab and hold on to Muráti's hand. "She started panicking", said Ernest Day, who was watching it all through the camera, "but he didn't understand her. She was trying to make him let go, and when she did finally wrench her hand away she stumbled and disappeared out of the viewfinder." Muráti was wearing thick clothes, and she curled up into a ball as she fell, so the train wheels didn't sever her limbs. Her stumble appears in the finished movie.
