Actors in the film include Frank Sinatra, Peter Falk, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Bing Crosby, and Barbara Rush. Peter Lawford was originally cast as Alan A. Dale, but when Lawford's brothers-in-law John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy opted to stay at Republican singer and Sinatra rival Bing Crosby's house during a West Coast visit instead of at Sinatra's, as originally planned (Sinatra had built a helipad and made countless other arrangements for the eagerly awaited presidential visit), Sinatra ostracized Lawford from the Rat Pack and, ironically, cast Crosby in Lawford's role. Crosby, still a major movie star at the time, wound up singing more songs of his own in the film than Sinatra. A memorable rendition of "Style" with Crosby, Dean Martin, and Sinatra consists of the three singing about a hat not being a hat unless it's cocked, but at the conclusion of each verse, Martin uncocks his hat and wears it straight across his forehead!
