* HostilityOnTheSet: Creator/SamPeckinpah was the film's initial director, but he clashed frequently with producer Martin Ransohoff. Ransohoff in particular didn't care for Peckinpah's decision to shoot DeliberatelyMonochrome, and his decision to change one already sexually-charged scene to include unauthorized nudity finally got Peckinpah fired (the issue was more "unauthorized" than "nudity", but Ransohoff tried to make a moral issue of it when he talked to the Hollywood press).



** The film was to be directed by Creator/SamPeckinpah but, shortly before production began, he was [[ExecutiveMeddling fired by the studio]] over his insistence the movie be [[DeliberatelyMonochrome shot in black-and-white]] and for filming an unauthorized nude scene.
