 Howard Hawks (qv) and Jean Arthur (I) (qv) did not get along  during filming. Arthur was not used to Hawks highly improvisational  style, and when Hawks wanted Arthur to play Bonnie much in a subtly  sexy way (not unlike his other "Hawksian Women"), Arthur flatly  said, "I cant do that kind of stuff." Hawks told Arthur at the end  of the shoot, "You are one of the few people Ive worked with that I  dont think Ive helped at all. Someday you can go see what I wanted  to do because Im gonna do this character all over again." Years  later, Hawks returned home to find Arthur waiting for him in his  driveway. She had just seen Hawks  _To Have and Have Not (1944)_ (qv) and confessed, "I wish Id done  what youd asked me to do. If you ever make another picture with me,  Ill promise to do any goddamn thing you want to do. If a kid  (Lauren Bacall (qv)) can come in and do that kind of stuff,; I  certainly could do it." Hawks and Arthur never collaborated again.
