The thirteen-and-a-half minute billiard room scene between Tom Cruise and Sydney Pollack took about three weeks of filming with nearly 200 takes. The greeting scene at the party early in the picture took only two hours with around sixteen takes. Cruise claimed that Pollack might have ironically been too prepared for the billiard scene, himself being a director, and when he arrived on-set with ideas of how the scene could be blocked, Kubrick then pressed him to perform it a different way each take.
