Edit
Trivia Marlon Brando once approached director Michael Winner on the set and requested that the script be rewritten, to which Winner responded: "Marlon, you've had the script for nine months, we haven't got time to redo the whole bloody thing now, thank you very much. It's a low budget film and you had a great deal of time to make this speech. It's no good making it standing in a country lane in Cambridgeshire with Francis Ford Coppola behind the barrier with the crowd watching. This is not the time dear - I'm terribly sorry". See more »
