Which Martin did Arkin like? Sheen or Balsam?

I was listening to the great DVD commentary, and Mike Nichols said Arkin was standoff and aloof during the ENTIRE shoot, and the only one he seemed to like, tolerate, and get along with was Martin. But he does not indicate which Martin.

I think both Sheen and Balsam are both pretty cool.

I think Martin Sheen, I believe Alan Arkin worked with him again.

I'm not sure which Martin Nichols was referring to but from personal esperience, Martin Sheen was one of the nicest, most down-to-earth persons you could ever meet.

I would bet he meant Sheen.
