Jeffrey Rockland, son of an American diplomat at the US Embassy in Madrid, played Sasha. Jeffrey's mother, Mae, accompanied him on set. In Klaus Kinski's autobiography, he said he and Mae had affair. "David Lean's crew scours the whole of Spain for the final remnants of unmelted snow. We drive almost two hundred miles from Madrid, spending the night in some crummy village hotels. The woman caring for the boy who has to be filmed (with Omar Sharif, Geraldine Chaplin, Ralph Richardson, and myself) in the cattle car heading toward Siberia, accompanies him. Her broad hips and heavy thighs contrast unbelievably with her slender torso, as if Nature had whimsically joined the upper body of one person to the lower body of another. Furthermore, her thighs are hirsute all the way up to the hips. The hair makes her look like a female satyr. I fuck her only standing in front of a mirror so I can keep this strange creature constantly in view with every thrust, especially when I shoot inside her. I have to wear socks when I sneak across the creaking floorboards of the motel hall, because you can hear every fart in the rooms. We also fuck during lunch breaks. After midnight she steals into my room, wearing only a teddy. If someone has to go to the hallway toilet at night and runs into her, he'll know what she's doing. In Madrid, the fucking ought to stop. Her husband comes to their villa every evening and often during lunch breaks. But he's in the United States now, and the villa is on our route. So first we stop off there. While I look over the house, the driver brings in the suitcases, including mine. 'Herr Kinski will be taking a cab,' the female satyr says over my head to the driver. We fuck all night in her double bed," Kinski wrote.
