 Because of problems with the Writers Guild of America,  Terry Gilliam (qv) and Tony Grisoni (I) (qv) were not able to  credit themselves as writers of the screenplay, despite the many  changes they had made to Ehren Kruger (qv)s original script. They  invented a credit for themselves as "Dress Pattern Makers" and thus  were quoted as saying that the film was not necessarily made from a  "screenplay" but from a "dress pattern".
