In the DVD making of documentary,
William Shatner
says that at the time they were filming, there was no clear end to the film and that the writers were constantly re-writing the ending. He recalls that at one point he came up with what he considered a good ending and pitched it to co-star
Leonard Nimoy
who thought it was a good idea. They then went together to
Robert Wise
to pitch the idea to him. Wise also liked the idea. Now Shatner had to pitch it to
Gene Roddenberry
. Shatner claims that by the time he pitched the ending to Roddenberry that he was so exhausted from mustering up the energy to pitch the idea (in addition to the energy he use to work on the film) that his pitch didnt go over so well and Gene Roddenberry rejected it. In his book "Star Trek Movie Memories" (1994), Shatner recalls the story differently: the scene in question is the one in which the Enterprise crew starts to leave the bridge in order to show the Ilia/Probe it is acting like a little child. When Roddenberry rejected it, Robert Wize got
Harold Livingston
to write the scene instead.

, author of "Easy Riders," reports in his book that Altman and
Tommy Thompson
were driving to the airport, when Altman said, "Lets stop at 20th. I had a dream last night, I want to sell it to Laddie. Keep the engine running, itll only take a minute." Altman darted into Ladds office, made a deal for "3 Women," and was back in the car in time to make his flight.

Because time was so short, all the prints of the film were shipped "wet" - fresh from the duplication lab - and were airlifted directly out from a warehouse on the Paramount lot as they were assembled.
