According to Nicholson, Hall and the cast were unhappy with the script. To fix it, Hall gathered the cast, script supervisor and writers together for a series of brainstorming sessions conducted over a three-day period with everybody contributing scenes and dialogue. Two secretaries took notes that were then incorporated into the final shooting script. Photo courtesy of UPM/AD member James Nicholson.
