Because Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif were being held to contracts signed several years earlier, when they were less famous, they both had to accept smaller fees than one would expect, given how famous they were when this movie was made early in 1966. Neither was very happy with this situation, but they took care to claim the lavish living expenses to which they were entitled.
On a budget of 5.2 million dollars, this had only taken in three million dollars by 1972.
Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif were reluctant to do this movie, but felt they owed it to producer Sam Spiegel for making them stars in Lawrence of Arabia (1962).
According to one of producer Sam Spiegel's biographers, the fee paid to Donald Pleasence was more than double the combined fees paid to Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif, although they had higher billing. This was due to their having to fulfill an old contract agreement dating from before their world fame.

"General Tanz: It's like the natural functions. Revolting, but inevitable."
