She was handwriting it and Robin would change every take. So Robin would go to a place where he couldn’t remember much of what he said. We would go to the script supervisor and ask her and sometimes she didn’t even get it all.
Often, he would literally give us a completely different take than what we did doing the written takes.” Columbus said on “several occasions” Williams improvised so much dialogue that he used up all the film that was loaded into the camera. “It got to the point that I had to shoot the entire movie with four cameras to keep up with him,” the director recalled. “None of us knew what he was going to say when he got going and so I wanted a camera on the other
