Mr. Manny Rosen: My wife can't stand to see anybody not married.
Mrs. Belle Rosen: No, it comes from caring.
Trivia: Even though Jack Albertson and Shelley Winters played the happily married couple, Albertson strongly disliked working with Winters and even said, "The happiest moment making the movie for me was when she died."
Question: Why did Jack Albertson hate working with Shelley Winters when making this movie?





Answer: There's nothing specific reported about them, but other actors have also expressed disliking working with Shelley Winters. Stella Stevens, who was also in Poseidon, mentioned not getting along with Winters on another movie they made together because she was drinking at the time. Winters had a rather ditzy and brash personality that annoyed some people, which is probably what Albertson was referring to.
