Sarah Polley's memoir

[Donald McKinney]

At least Polley is striking a more conciliatory tone, not wanting people to demonise Gilliam for what Polley went through on that film. Like I've said elsewhere, it WASN'T ENTIRELY Gilliam's fault, most of blame lies at the door of Thomas Schühly, who lied about the budget and didn't keep control of the money going out of the door. Arnon Milchan was originally producer early on, but he left when Schühly seized greater control over the production, it could have done with Milchan's tight control, because Schühly didn't have the discipline or clout Milchan had.
