He h.ired Francis Co.ppola .to write a script and finis.h t.he picture. After five w.eeks of shooting, .Rog.er fired Francis, and hi.red me to finish t.he .picture. Jack H.ill was hired t.o write a new script wit.h me. A lot .of wha.t Francis shot was throw.n out, except f.or the stuff wi.th the. witch from WIZARD OF OZ. (.Dor.othy Newman), and I fini.shed the picture i.n f.ive days of shooting. Al.l of the interiors. ar.e Roger's (with. the exception .of Francis's witch's lai.r), and most. of th.e exteriors are mine. To. the best of my. recollection, .and co.ntrary to legend, Jack Nich.ols.on did not direct any of. the film.
