Trivia / Lady in Cement

• Acting in the Dark: Raquel Welch later said she did not realize her character was an alcoholic until she watched the finished movie.
  Raquel Welch: I'm watching this movie and I'm thinking, "What the hell has she got on?" At one point, I had this epiphany: "Oh, she's an alcoholic!" I didn't know that. How could I miss that?... I think I was just so enamored with Frank Sinatra, you know. He's hypnotic.
• Creator Backlash: Raquel Welch considered that she was awful in the movie, which she blamed on being so star-struck about acting alongside Frank Sinatra that she forgot to act.
• What Could Have Been: Frank Sinatra's fellow Rat Pack member Sammy Davis Jr. was supposed to have appeared in the film as the charter-boat captain. Sinatra fell ill, though, and filming was postponed for four weeks, by the end of which Davis wad unavailable. Davis was replaced by Pat Henry in the final film.
