The Biggest Bundle of Them All

Robert Wagner wrote in his autobiography that Raquel Welch was constantly late on the set, keeping the cast and crew waiting for hours while she had her hair and make-up done. Finally, Edward G. Robinson cracked, telling Welch off in an angry ten minute tirade which left Welch in tears and apologizing for her behavior. However, Wagner writes, the next day, she was late again. Director Ken Annakin also recalled, in a later interview, that not only was she constantly late, but that she "tended to wing her lines a little bit." He then told her if she didn't show up on time knowing her lines he would use as little of her as possible and not use her in any close-ups - just medium and long shots. "She was very co-operative after that", Annakin said.

About sixteen minutes into the film, when Celli puts the artwork down and turns around, a moving shadow of the boom microphone is visible on the far wall to the right.
