Production

Director Lewis says he did the film "because it was three months in Rome on someone else's money" but that he felt Maibaum's script "was awful and I think I almost had nothing to do with him. My ex wife did the rewrite and off we went.[1]

Lewis says Ekberg was "very difficult" to work with but executive producer Martin Bergman refused to fire her. Lewis decided to fire her anyway but rehired her when she promised to behave which she did.[1] He also said Cornelia Sharpe needed a lot of takes, which caused friction with Omar Sharif who did not.[1]

gollark: Except you just unilaterally came up with that initial statement, so if I wanted to (and I totally do) I could reinterpret that as you demanding some stuff for nothing in return.

gollark: Which is somewhat reduced by you vaguely compromising, I guess.

gollark: Your edited thing (without aborting the current event) would be acceptable if it was not for, as I have repeatedly mentioned, the meta-level issue.

gollark: It kind of undermines the original departure.

gollark: Um. What?
