Even though Haskell Wexler was able to achieve the visual style that Mike Nichols wanted, he took so long to light each scene that it drove Nichols crazy. "Haskell had never made a major picture", said Sam O'Steen, "and he used to have a lot of little bitty lights, put them all around, he spent hours lighting. Then he'd say, 'Now you have to cut here, because they walk out of this light.' And I said, 'Why don't you light it so the guy can cross over in the middle', but he would whine that he didn't want to. Mike was ready to kill him. But the picture ended up looking real good."
