* WhatCouldHaveBeen: ''Robin And The Seven Hoods'' stars the Creator/RatPack central troika of [[Creator/FrankSinatra Frank]], [[Creator/DeanMartin Dean]], and [[Creator/SammyDavisJr Sammy]]. Peter Lawford, another longtime Pack member, was meant to be in it too, but was replaced by Creator/BingCrosby due to his falling-out with Frank after [[UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy the]] [[UsefulNotes/RobertFKennedy Kennedys]] chose to distance themselves from the Sinatra owing to Sinatra's alleged mob ties, Sinatra blaming Lawford for not interceding on his behalf (Lawford being married to the president's sister). The swap for Crosby is a little odd given it was ''Crosby'''s house that Kennedy stayed at on a visit to the west coast after declining Sinatra's hospitality.

* TroubledProduction: Victor Buono remarked that between the assassination of UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy, which severely depressed the mood of Sinatra and the Rat Pack, and the kidnapping of Frank's son halfway through production (forcing Frank to demand the scrapping of a kidnapping subplot as in RealLifeWritesThePlot) and the subsequent media circus it caused, it was a minor miracle that the movie ever made it to completion. In fact after [=JFK=] was killed, Frank had second thoughts about carrying on with the movie at all.
