By the time the film's projected completion date arrived, Howard Hawks had shot less than half the script. Although Humphrey Bogart's marital problems had caused some delays, the main problem was Hawks' continual re-writing. While the studio closed for the Christmas holidays, Hawks and Jules Furthman shortened the script so they could finish the film more quickly and economically, cutting whole scenes to free up sets. He finally finished the film 34 days behind schedule. Because he had kept secondary sets as inexpensive as possible, however, he was only $15,000 over budget.
