Trivia

In subsequent interviews, Dreyfuss reiterated what he said of his experience working with Murray. He further alleged in 2019 that at one point during the production, Murray screamed at him while intoxicated, telling him "Everyone hates you! You are tolerated!" and then threw an ashtray at him. Murray, on the other hand, later stated when he guest appeared on The Howard Stern Show in 2014, "I really try to make the other actor look good whenever I can...I try to make the other person look good. In this particular film, annoying Dreyfuss, which I kind of got to enjoy I gotta confess--but I didn't try to annoy him off the screen." Producer Laura Ziskin recalled having a disagreement with Murray which led him to toss her into a lake. Ziskin confirmed in 2003, "Bill also threatened to throw me across the parking lot and then broke my sunglasses and threw them across the parking lot. I was furious and outraged at the time, but having produced a dozen movies, I can safely say it is not common behavior." See more
