Sinatra walked off the film and threatened to quit unless Lang was fired. Lang was replaced by Ted D. McCord.
Doris Day wrote that Frank Sinatra disliked Day's husband/manager Martin Melcher so much that he threatened to walk off this film unless Melcher was banned from the Warner Brothers lot during production.
