This reminds me of the story of the filmong of The Merry Widow where director Erich Von Stroheim and star Mae Murray had fights all through the filming.
He called me a whore, and non talent %6*))_ and she called him a %^^&&( Hun and other pleasntries.
It came to a head when Ms Murray threw a glass vase ,and knocked Von Stroheim off the directors chair.
This is tame compared to that incident.
