Taking It Too Far
Hoffman and Streep’s characters were supposed to be arguing in an early scene of the film. According to some, Hoffman went too far and slapped Streep in the face, leaving a red mark. Her failure to report the incident, according to Michael Schulman of Vanity Fair, was a mistake because it was serious enough.

It’s as if Hoffman brought up Streep’s late boyfriend, John Cazale, as if that weren’t enough of a turnoff. Because he wanted to scare her and make her angry in the way she is supposed to be, he did this. Streep was said to have heard him say the name Cazale before the film’s famous courtroom scene was filmed.
