Although David Lean had championed Julie Christie to studio executives, during early days of filming, he had a hard time getting what he wanted out of her. Rather than give her time to explore the role, he kept at her to get exactly what he wanted. When filming returned to Spain after time in icebound Finland, she finally collapsed under the pressure. Gradually, however, they developed a working rapport. Lean visited her in her apartment in Madrid, and was quick to accept her suggestions for the script. By the time production had finished, they had forged a lasting friendship, though they never worked together again.
