John Huston didn't trust Sam Spiegel and instructed his agent get him out of his contract with Horizon Films--Spiegel's company--thereby surrendering his percentage of the film's progress. Huston regretted it, as withdrawing from the deal cost him millions. The same can be said for cinematographer Jack Cardiff, who opted for a straight salary rather than a percentage. Spiegel made a fortune, as the film went on to be a huge hit.
