* SameLanguageDub: While set designer Henry Grace resembled a middle-aged UsefulNotes/DwightDEisenhower enough that he was cast as Ike after initial plans to have the former President play himself were scuttled due to attempts to hide the fact that Eisenhower was in his early 70s by then with makeup weren't working; Grace sounded very different from Ike, resulting in voice actor Allen Swift to dub the voice using an Eisenhower impression.
