Ishtar is a 1987 American comedy written and directed by Elaine May in a production of Warren Beatty, who co-starred with Dustin Hoffman.

Beatty felt indebted to May, who in addition to cowriting his 1978 hit Heaven Can Wait had done a major uncredited rewrite on the script of his Academy Award-winning Reds and helped immensely with its postproduction.

At a dinner with Beatty and Bert Fields, their agent, May said she would like to do a variant on the Road to ... movies of Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, set in the Middle East.

When May finished the script, Beatty, Hoffman, and some other friends including Charles Grodin, had a meeting and read-through at Beatty's house.

He worried about the effects of having Beatty, Hoffman and May on the same set, since they were all known as perfectionists.

May, in particular, had a reputation for shooting as much raw footage as Beatty himself or Stanley Kubrick.

Beatty, Hoffman and May all had final cut input, as well ( although Beatty denies this ).

Beatty often took Storaro's sides in disputes between him and May.

Eventually Beatty and May began quarreling, and Hoffman sometimes served as the mediator.

May also didn't get along with Adjani, which adversely affected the latter's relationship with Beatty.

Privately, both Beatty and May began to confess they had made a mistake.

They were far outside her background in improvisational theatre, and during a confrontation with Beatty, May said, " You want it done?

Beatty knew that if he called the bluff, he would have had to finish directing the film himself, which would have been a major embarrassment given that his main objective in making the film was to give May the chance she had never had.

When the film returned to New York, Beatty told Fay Vincent, then Columbia's chief executive officer, that May couldn't direct.

May was supposed to direct actors when they looped their lines in a recording studio, but sometimes left the job to Beatty or one of the editors.

Three teams of editors, one each for Beatty, Hoffman and May, worked almost continuously to produce cuts of the film to each principal's liking.

Since McElwaine, whom he had tried to please as a friend, was no longer in charge, Beatty eventually relented to letting May cut the film her way, partly because he detested Puttnam and believed he was leaking negative information about Ishtar to the media.

In an interview with Elaine May, Mike Nichols described the bomb as " the prime example that I know of in Hollywood of studio suicide ", implying that Puttnam sandbagged the project by leaking negative anecdotes to the media because of his grudges against Beatty and Hoffman.

Beatty and May barely spoke for two years afterwards, and friends of hers say she remains slightly bitter about the experience.
