When filming in Morocco for "The Man Who Knew Too Much" it was during Ramadan.

When the animals used in the scenes were clearly suffering, she inquired why.

Turned out, the animals were being refused water during the day, along with the observant Muslims.

Well, she went on strike, refusing to work on the picture any more, until that policy was changed.

The animals got their water!
