Because of his then-recent Oscar-winning performance in "Patton", George C. Scott had considerable power during the making of this film. Initial director John Huston insisted that Alan Sharp's screenplay needed extensive rewriting (earning the writer's enduring enmity) and his son Tony Huston and his personal assistant Gladys Hill did much work on the script. Scott refused to accept their work and Huston, ordered to stick to Sharp's original version, immediately resigned from the film, thereby forgoing a large directing fee (allegedly $150,000).
