Production on the film was troubled,{{sfn|Smith|2002|p=199}} with Connery taking on many of the production duties with assistant director David Tomblin.{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=156}} Director Irvin Kershner was critical of producer Jack Schwartzman, saying that, while he was a good businessman, "he didn't have the experience of a film producer".{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=156}} After the production ran out of money, Schwartzman had to fund further production out of his own pocket, and later admitted he had underestimated the amount the film would cost to make.{{sfn|Smith|2002|p=199}} There was tension on set between Schwartzman and Connery, who at times barely spoke to each other. Connery was unimpressed with the perceived lack of professionalism behind the scenes, and was on record as saying that the whole production was a "bloody [[Mickey Mouse]] operation!"<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.007magazine.co.uk/battle_for_bond4.htm|title=JAMES BOND 007 MAGAZINE {{!}} THE BATTLE FOR BOND|website=007magazine.co.uk|access-date=2019-07-09|archive-date=13 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180213022006/http://www.007magazine.co.uk/battle_for_bond4.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
