Wood allegedly stole money from the film's budget to purchase alcohol for himself. Apostolof remarked later in interviews that Wood was drinking so heavily during the production, at times he was almost unconscious with his eyes rolled up in his head. Bob Caramico the cameraman, described Wood as just "living from day to day". He advised Wood's friend John Andrews, "If I were you, I wouldn't have anything to do with him." The incident caused a falling-out between Apostolof and Wood, and the two men would not collaborate again until 1972.
