After so many other directors had said no, Robert Altman said he wanted to make this film, loved the screenplay, and would not change a word. "I laughed when Evans reported this to me," Jules Feiffer wrote in his memoir, Evans in reference to Producer Robert Evans. "I was a friend of Altman's and a fan. As a fan I knew what was coming. Altman didn't believe in scripts except as a necessary evil to get films financed. He didn't much believe in words, he didn't care if you heard the dialogue or not. And he didn't believe in story. But I could imagine no one better to give credibility to Segar's outlandish creations on-screen." Segar refers to E.C. Segar, the creator of the character of Popeye.
