A scene depicting a kidnapping was filmed, but cut when star Frank Sinatra's son was kidnapped.
Making this film should have been fun. Instead, by more than one account, it was a waking nightmare for all involved. John F. Kennedy was assassinated soon after filming started, casting a pall over the entire set. Not long after that, Frank Sinatra Jr. was kidnapped from his dressing room at Lake Tahoe, Nevada (Upon payment of a large ransom, he was released, unharmed, a few days later). Victor Buono, who played Deputy Sherrif Alvin Potts, later observed that it was a minor miracle that filming was completed at all.
Average Shot Length = ~13 seconds. Median Shot Length = ~12.3 seconds. Both values are quite high for a Hollywood film made in the mid 1960s.
Gene Kelly was originally hired as producer but left three weeks before filming. It was later suggested that he left because of disagreements with Frank Sinatra over the amount of dancing numbers in the movie.
The two lesser known Rat Packers, Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford, don't appear in this film. They are "replaced" essentially by Bing Crosby and Peter Falk.
