| 1 | * TheCastShowoff: |
| 2 | ** Paul Anka, in his role of Jimmy, gets to sing several times throughout the movie. |
| 3 | ** Music/ThePlatters also get a song in the movie, as themselves. |
| 4 | * DawsonCasting: Most of the cast are much older than the teenagers they're supposed to be playing. |
| 5 | ** Mamie Van Doren was actually 28 at the time, a good 11 years older than her character. |
| 6 | ** Mel Tormé was 34 (and it definitely showed). |
| 7 | ** Gigi Perreau (who played Serafina) and Paul Anka were at least much closer to their characters' ages, both being 18 at the time. (Ironically, Peggy Moffitt, who plays Flo, was also 18, but only ''[[HugeSchoolgirl mostly]]'' looked it.) |
| 8 | ** Elinor Donahue was 22 and played a 15 year old. |
| 9 | * PlayingAgainstType: Mel Tormé plays a blackmailing JerkAss gang member. Though, considering how jazz musicians were viewed in TheFifties, it was probably {{Typecasting}}. |
