 In the autumn of 1985, Terry Gilliam (qv) and  Robert De Niro (qv) appeared on  _"Good Morning America"(1975)_ (qv) to help promote, and talk about,  this film, which was finished but not yet released.  Terry Gilliam (qv) was struggling with the studio and the studio  head (Sid Sheinberg (qv)) quite publicly. De Niro never usually  makes television appearances to promote his films, but helped  Gilliam out and made his first and only television appearance  promoting a film. According to Gilliam "Bobby [De Niro] said very  little, he was talkative that day so we might have gotten him to ten  words." Then, Joan Lunden (qv) asked Terry Gilliam (qv), "I hear  your having trouble with the studio, is this correct?" Gilliam  responded with "No, Im having trouble with Sid Sheinberg, here is  an 8x10 photo of him," and showed the entire nation his photograph.  Sheinberg was reportedly furious with this incident, and it helped  Gilliam get the release of the film done the way he wanted.
