Did You Know?
| Trivia | Production on the film was shut down for one day after Elliott Gould and Menahem Golan got into a row over the scene where Gould 's character Alby Sherman confesses to Elizabeth Anderson (Margaux Hemingway) that he loves her. The end result had Gould allegedly calling Golan "a cocksucker" during the argument and storming off the set to the shock of cast and crew. Gould about two days later personally apologized to Golan and filming then resumed. See more » |
