Debbie Reynolds tell some hilarious stories about how fucking CRAZY Shelley Winters was during the filming of this movie
Debbie agreed to drive to Shelley's house every morning to pick her up and to make sure she showed up on set on time.
One morning Debbie found traffic was backed up as she got near Shelley's house. As she got closer, she saw traffic was slowing for a woman in her nightgown who was standing in the road waving - it was Shelley. Debbie pulled up and opened the door for Shelley to get in her car. Shelley screamed, "Oh Debbie, thank God you came by - I overslept and I was afraid I'd be late. And NO ONE would stop to give me a ride!"

"She is eccentric, highly gifted, unique, unusual, creative—and off-the-wall," said Reynolds from her Las Vegas home. "Working with Shelley is extraordinarily challenging. She is extremely difficult to work with. I found that not to be helpful for my work. She said I was better because she was difficult. I say it would have been easier or better for my health to have a little less turmoil on the set.
"In one scene, I had the prop man check the knife she held every time just before we shot it because I knew she was going to go for me for real! She'd gotten so into her character, she [italic]became[/italic] it. But I'm very fond of Shelley," she insists sweetly.

Shelley fought with the Director, Producers, Crew, etc, etc, etc on this movie... At one point, the producers considered replacing her with Geraldine Page, who was ready and willing to join the production.
But after reviewing the budget, the producers decided replacing Shelley would require too much re-shooting.
One day Shelley got into a shouting match with the Costume Supervisor on set - the screaming was so loud everyone of the set could hear it.
Shelley kept screaming that the Supervisor was intentionally giving her unflattering costumes and trying to "make her look fat"...
Eventually, Shelley walked out onto the set stark naked still screaming obscenities!

Everyone laughed, probably relieved it was over - except Shelley who genuinely seemed to have no memory of her breakdown.

Shelley: “You bet … you can get a picture, boys. Betty, get over here. You need publicity. I see a lot of Humphrey Bogart festivals around, but I don’t see many Betty Bacalls.”
Lauren Bacall (aka Betty): “I’m sorry, Shelley, but I really don’t have the time. I’m leaving for Florida tomorrow to make a picture with Robert Altman.”
Shelley: “Hey, everybody. Betty got work! We should all celebrate.”
Lauren Bacall: “If it’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s a drunk woman. I’ll match you flop for flop, you (expletive deleted, and then more deleted).”
