During the soundless epoch it was thought a waste material of money to do a film with more than than one star. Personalities like Charlie Chaplin, Harold Harold Lloyd and Fellow Buster Keaton were considered cogent adequate box business office on their own. But with dwindling attending during the great depression MGM decided to have Hollywood's first all star ensemble cast of characters in Grand Hotel (1932) starring the gigantic egoes of Joan Crawford, Wallace Beery, Toilet John Barrymore and Greta Garbo. The manager Edmund Goulding was not able to allow Joan Thomas Crawford and Greta Garbo have got any scenes together for fearfulness they might seek to upstage each other. Although she complimented her Swedish co-star's beauty, Thomas Crawford hated Garbo's demands for top billing. Knowing that Greta hated tardiness and Marlene Dietrich, Thomas Thomas Crawford was constantly late and played Dietrich's records loudly on the set.

Crawford had another classic brush with competing Bette Davys on the set of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane (1962). Betty, knowing that Joan was the widow woman of Aelfred Steele, the former caput of the Pepsi Cola Corporation, had a Coke dispenser brought in for the cast of characters and crew. When Joan was late Bette, an often awful adult female but a sum pro, would proclaim loudly," Is the Widow Sir Richrd Steele ready yet?" Joan retaliated by lining her acquire dressed pockets with weights so in a scene when Davys had to drag Crawford's nearly dead fictional character across the floor, she almost broke her back.

Male stars don't always get along either. On location in Japan, for the filming of The Teashop Of The August Moon (1956), John Glenn John Ford paid a visit to his co-star Marlon Brando's dressing room. "Marlon did you eat one of the cocoa chip cookies my married woman sent me?". "No Iodine didn't Glenn." "OK." John Ford hesitated at the door. "Marlon, all you to make was ask, you didn't have got to take one." John John John Ford left to hit his adjacent scene giving the infuriated Brando time to travel into Ford's dressing room and knock the remaining cookies with a sledgehammer.

Another Ford, Harrison, had a quarrel with Brad William Pitt during the making of The Devil's Own (1996). At first William Pitt was excited to be working with the aged actor, but his enthusiasm waned as the book focusing moved away from his sympathetic immature Irish slayer to Ford's middle-aged, happily married policeman. John Ford perhaps threatened by the little star, accused William Pitt of trying to be an vindicator for the IRA. The movie was delayed almost every twenty-four hours for hours as Pitt, John Ford and manager Alan Pakula would reason about the script. The budget skyrocketed to over ninety million, became a box business office failure and led to Columbia River Pictures caput Mark Canton, being fired. During the production when the two had stars had fighting scenes together they took out their defeats by landing existent blows.

An all star male cast of characters can do it hard to stand up out. Steve McQueen had been so despairing to look in The Brilliant Seven (1960), he had intentionally crashed a auto and used his minor hurts to temporarily acquire out of his telecasting series Wanted Dead Or Alive (1958-1961). He snuck down to United Mexican States while he was "recuperating" to work on Magnificent. His new challenge was how not to be overshadowed by the movie's star Yul Brynner. The colorful, larger than life Brynner was actually five ft nine (same as McQueen) and concerned about his tallness on screen. For the first scene between Chris (Brynner) and Vin (McQueen) the Swiss Mongolian histrion built a hill of soil that would let him to loom over his co-star. But Steve kept blowing his lines. Before each new return he would kick some soil out from underneath Yul's hill. By the time he got the scene right Brynner was nearly standing in a hole.

Sometimes the most junior-grade statements will interrupt out between male stars and their prima ladies. A legal tender scene in the Bishop's Wife (1947) was delayed because Cary Grant and Loretta Young couldn't face each other. Both insisted that their left profiles were more than than their more photogenic one-half and strongly pushed for that place in presence of the camera. After the draw lasted a few hours the ferocious manufacturer Surface-To-Air Missile Goldywn came down to the set and shouted," If I exposure only half, I pay only half!" The job was solved with Young gazing out the window and Grant coming up from behind, placing his weaponry around her and gently resting his mentum on her shoulder, so both left profiles remained in full view.

Ten old age later Grant drop in love his prima lady Sophia Sophia Loren while making Pride And Passion (1957). Their co-star Blunt Frank Sinatra got extremely jealous. Trying to do friends Sophia Loren explained to Frank Sinatra in Italian that she was worried about her English for approaching promotion interviews. As usual the Satan took over Sinatra. He advised her to usage disgusting linguistic communication in every sentence. Especially the "F" word which was a term of endearment to Americans. When Sophia conducted her first fourth estate conference the aghast newsmen asked her where she learned to talk like that. After a few good abdomen laughs, she was advised to do Cary Grant her new English teacher.
